Step 1: Ensure Everyone's Safety
Before anything else, check that all passengers are safe. If anyone is injured, call 999 immediately. Move vehicles to the side of the road if it's safe to do so.
Step 2: Exchange Information
Collect the following from all parties involved:
- Full name and contact details
- Insurance company and policy number
- Vehicle registration number
- Make and model of the vehicle
Step 3: Document Everything
Take photos of all damage from multiple angles, the road conditions, traffic signs, and the overall scene. This evidence is invaluable for insurance claims.
Step 4: Notify Your Insurance
Report the accident to your insurer as soon as possible, even if you don't plan on making a claim. Failing to report can invalidate your policy.
Step 5: Choose Your Repairer Wisely
