When you are involved in an automobile accident, you will likely feel frazzled and a million thoughts will be racing through your mind. Depending on the severity, your life may have flashed before your eyes.

Just like in any sort of crisis situation, it is important to have a plan in place ahead of time, so you can just implement it when needed. This is certainly true for car crashes. 

Remember these four simple steps to make your life easier if you decide to file an insurance claim:

1. Call the police to get everything documented properly and so that the proper party is held accountable and found at fault.

2. Take photos with your phone, camera, or any other type of recording device. Snap pictures of your vehicle, as well as any other vehicles and people involved.

3. Pull your car over to the side of the road or another safe location to avoid getting hit by moving cars or interfering with the flow of traffic.

4. If you are injured, seek medical attention at a hospital or doctor’s office within 14 days. Waiting more than two weeks may cause your insurance policy to deny benefits.
