Don't lose control of the situation - here's our crash checklist.
Do:
- Stop immediately and try to stay calm;
- Check that everyone involved in the accident is OK. If anyone is injured, call an ambulance immediately;
- Give your name, address and details of your vehicle and insurance company to anyone who has reasonable need to know them. If you are unable to do so at the scene of the accident, then you must give these details to the police within 24 hours;
- Get the name, address, vehicle registration number and insurance details of other drivers involved;
- Contact your insurance company as soon as possible and provide a detailed breakdown of everything that happened. Too much information is better than too little. If you can, take photos before anything is moved, or draw a sketch plan as soon as you feel able to do so.
