Accidents
are not preplanned. It can happen to anyone at anytime. You may sit inside
after parking and making your commitment towards work. In the same side, you
may hear a sound of steel crunching and your neck will jerk front and back
after the hit. The driver behind you has rear ended on your car. It is not your
fault. This is possibly their mistake and you will have other possible agenda
to handle. What should you do? Car accidents are not a pleasant incident where
you have to follow few steps to achieve that can have possible outcome.
What
to do when you get in a car accident and it's not your fault? There are few steps that need
to be carried out regardless of who is at fault. There are few things that you
can do to protect their interest in case of other party leaves the incident and
fails to report the incident or contradicts your account or else the party is
uncooperative.
Immediate action
after accident
First
you should not over react. Keep calm and take deep breath. Check if you are
injured and get immediate attention. Check on the all other passengers who all
involved in the accident and help those who need emergency care. Also while
taking care of those injured be careful whether you should move them or not.
Make sure to move the vehicle out of traffic and road.
Gather details
If
it is clear that the fault is of other driver’s, you need to get through the
rear end collision. Report back to insurer about the responsible person. You
cannot assume that other driver will take care of the crime; you need to gather
witness to prove their crime. Collect information of the third party and
address the witness along with their information.
Call police
Soon
after the accident if you are not aware of what
to do after a car accident then you report police at first.
They will instruct you through the process. Even if there is not physical
injury, you need to call police. This will help you to reach out to a
settlement.
What to do after
reaching home?
As
soon as you report to police and get back with the reporting, you can return to
home. If you are injured, you will be treated first and then taken to home. As
soon as you reach home, you should consider informing the incident to insurance
company. They will help you to claim the compensation for the incident.
Hire an attorney
for car accident claim
If
your side truth is not proven and you are not sufficient to argue for the case,
you can hire an attorney who will help in getting the needed compensation.
