When traveling out of town the last thing you want to worry about is a car accident. Unexpected car accidents can turn an otherwise great trip into a nightmare. Car accidents can happen anywhere and how they are handled vary depending on where you are. Before you head out of town learn what to do in case you are involved in an unexpected accident.
No matter where you are, the first thing you need to do is assess the accident. Make sure that everybody involved is okay. If there are injuries call for help right away. Once help has been called or you have determined everybody is okay you want to document the accident as best you can. Use your phone to take as many pictures of the accident as possible to show what happened. Once you have documented the scene you can safely move your car out of the way of traffic.
You will want to gather information from any witness. This means obtaining contact information, such as address and phone numbers. You will also want to exchange insurance information with the other parties involved in the accident.
Even though you are out of town your insurance company needs to be notified of the accident. Most plans will cover an accident anywhere in the continental US, some plans will even cover accidents that happen outside of the US. Give your insurance company an account of what happened and submit any photo evidence that you have obtained. You will also need to pass along witness information and the other party’s insurance info.
