Reader question:

What do I need to do after a car accident?

Good question.

If you want to go through the low cost car insurance claim process, then there are several steps that you need to follow in order to make things easier and more honest for you. The right actions immediately after the crash can make the difference between whether you can get the right amount of money for your claim or not.

What you need to do, first off, is to make sure that all of those who are at the scene are safe and in good health. If anyone is injured, call an ambulance, and immediately start considering your need for an accident lawyer. If the damages are more thanyour deductible, get a poice report with both sides of the story. Then get information from the other driver. This information needs to include their name, address, phone number, and the name and phone number for their auto insurance company. As soon as you get home, or even right there at the scene, call your car insurance agent to inform them of the accident.
