Car Accident Insurance
In the moments after a car accident, your adrenaline tends to cloud your vision. You may forget the most basic things – including how to make your car insurance claim. On the other hand, if you're uninsured, you may find yourself saddled with debt and bankruptcy because of liability costs. Of course, you don't want to find yourself in either of these situations, and the best way to prevent them is to carry sufficient car insurance.

What to do if you are involved in an car accident
The following basic steps should be taken immediately after any auto accident:
- Secure the scene by turning on your hazard lights and/or lighting flares.
- Call 911 if anyone is injured. Don't try to handle or assess injuries yourself.
- Call the police! If the other driver leaves the scene, write down the license plate number, then stay put until the police arrive.
- Get out and assess the damage if you can, and if you have a camera phone, take photographs.
- Do not move the vehicle. Stay put until the police arrive on the scene.
- Get the other's driver's insurance information and license plate number, name, address, and phone number.
- Report the claim to your insurance company as soon as possible, while the details are still fresh on your mind.
