Prioritize Safety<\/h2>\n

Immediately after an accident, prioritize the safety of all parties involved and call 911. Filing a police report is often required, regardless of who is at fault.<\/p>\n

Document<\/h2>\n

Take photos and videos of all vehicles involved in the accident. Retrieve the names of those who were in the crash, along with their contact information and insurance details. If possible, collect witness statements and the police report number. <\/p>\n

Notify Your Insurer<\/h2>\n

Once you have documented the scene and taken photo evidence, report your accident to your commercial auto insurance provider. This will include information such as the date, time, and location of the accident. Provide a description of what occurred, as well as your photo and video evidence. Include driver information and details about the damage to your vehicle. <\/p>\n
