What to do in case of an accident

With the roads covered in snow and accidents more likely to happen, it is important to remember what to do when involved in an accident. Listed below are things you should immediately do after an accident:

* Remain at the scene of the accident.
* Take steps to prevent further accidents-park safely, turn on emergency flashers.
* Call the police or ask someone to call for you.
*Give the other driver(s) your name, insurance company phone number, the vehicle's license plate number and your drivers license number.
*Obtain the same information from all other parties involved and witnesses.
* Do not admit fault. Discuss the specifics of the accident only with the police.
* If you have a digital camera or camera phone, take photos of the accident scene and vehicles if it is safe to do so.
* Call your insurance carrier toll-free hot line immediately. It is important to call right away so they can get to work settling your claim fast, fair and hassle-free.

It is important to remain calm, make sure you are not injured and get as much information as possible from all parties involved.
