What to Do After an Accident?
After the accident switch off the engine vehicle and park the vehicle on the side of the road. Check all the people in the vehicle are safe and not injured. If anyone is injured as a result of the accident, call emergency services.
Speak to Your Insurance: After the accident speak to your insurance to inform them about the accident.
Gather Evidence: Get as much information and evidence like vehicle images, witness contact details, and pictures of vehicle damages to support your claim.
Legal Consultation: We need to contact the solicitor or an accident management company to act on your behalf. Provide them with all the details of the accident and the evidence for their review. They will guide you and will update you about the prospects of the claim. Your solicitors will handle your vehicle repairs, hire, and personal injury claim.
Compensation and Settlement
The accident management company handling your claim will communicate with the insurance company of the other driver. The compensation amount will depend on your injuries and the vehicle damages. The more severe the injuries and the vehicle damages the more will be the compensation.
