Obviously, an accident site attracts a lot of crowd and everyone will be asking the same questions and some may even try to investigate you. But it is very important that you avoid talking to the public. This also includes not claiming or admitting any liability or fault. After the police gets to know the situation, the next people you should be talking to are your insurance company professional.

4. List The Facts 

Explaining the accident in detail requires you to list everything that has happened pre and post the accident.

Apart from the details of the accident, you also need to accurately place addresses, phone numbers, names and details of the people involved in the accident, car description, description of other events that led to the accident and facts.

You need to completely describe the vehicle in question. 

5. Call The Insurance Agent

After the medical investigation is done and police has been dealt with, it’s time to inspect the material damage. Call the insurance company to the accident scene. This will be quite helpful because the police officials will be in a better situation in providing the information. Also, calling the agent directly to the scene will save you a lot of time and money.
