According to Statistic Brain Research Institute, there are an average of 5,400,000 non-fatal car accidents every year. Despite our best efforts to promote proper driver’s education classes and discourage any sort of irresponsible or distracted driving, data indicates that the number of fatal car crashes increased by 5,000 between the years of 2009 and 2013.
Step 1: Stay At The Scene Of The Accident
Step 2: Watch What You Say (And What Info You Give)
Step 3: Get The Other Party’s Car Insurance Information
The insurance companies representing all parties involved will have to work together to determine who should be responsible for the damages and how to work out the payment process, so you have to exchange insurance information at the scene of the accident. If you do not have proof of insurance in your vehicle with you, the officer may allow you to bring proof of insurance within twenty-four hours. (However, you may be ticketed for not carrying proof of insurance.)
