Do’s and Don’ts Following a Collision

The following is a list of do’s and don’ts that can help you protect your interests if you are ever in a collision.

DO everything in your power to make sure a police report is filed.  The police report will be needed for everything from the name of the other driver, the other driver’s insurance company and policy number, the names and contact information for witnesses and others involved in the collision (including passengers), etc.  Further, because police reports often mean more physical damage to vehicles, insurance companies tend offer more money for injuries sustained in collisions with a police report.
