21 Jan Important Advice to Keep in Mind After an Auto Accident
No one wants to get into an auto accident, and the ensuing legal battles, hospitalizations, and possible injuries can make an already unpleasant experience even worse. However, there are numerous steps you can take to avoid further hassles and inconveniences after an auto accident. Read on to discover our post-accident tips from National Auto Collision Centers.
Immediately After the Accident
- If you’ve been in an auto accident, it’s completely natural to feel panicked or overwhelmed. Try to stay calm, and take a few deep breaths to center yourself. When you feel level-headed, you’re more likely to make better decisions.
- Call the police and inform them that an accident has occurred.
- Check for injuries. Your safety is paramount!
- Once you have determined that you have not suffered any injuries, check your car for damages. Make a thorough list of everything you notice and take photos on your phone.
- Do not make any statements to the police regarding fault, even if you believe you may be responsible. Be sure to keep a clear head and only relay the facts.

Insurance
If your insurance company asks you to visit a drive-in claims center before being repaired, we recommend leaving your car with us and having an insurance agent evaluate the car on-site. Your insurance company cannot require you to visit a specific auto body shop. That choice is, by law, entirely up to you.
