After a car crash, it is advisable to take the following steps:
– Write down all details about where and how the accident happened;
– If possible, call 911 for police assistance/reports if no one was seriously injured ;
– File an official report with your insurance company, or you can also try calling them.
You’ll want to get this step out of the way since they might ask for photos of the scene before it’s cleaned up, which will be impossible until everyone has departed.
Many Ohio residents are unaware that their own policy may not cover all types of collisions, such as when another motorist collides with your parked vehicle or impacts someone who does not live in his household, such as a visitor.
These are the most important things to keep in mind when dealing with an accident, no matter how big or small it is.
