What Should Be Done Once Being Hit With Another Car
Car accidents are very common now-a-days. Over speeding, not following the rules of traffic, untrained drivers, bad condition of roads, weather conditions, and improper maintained cars are some of the reasons of accidents. We all must drive responsibly and sensibly, however, if we meet an accident we should know what to do immediately after the incident.
When your auto is hit by other one then you possibly be going through many mixed emotions like fury, terror, aggression and so on, however, the most excellent thing to do at that moment is to cool yourself down and have a deep breath. Instantaneously when you come back in your senses, you must have a look at your body and the other persons which are with you. If you find an injury, then contact ambulance at once.
The next step should be to contact the police. It is always wise to contact police even if you involve in a small mishap. Don't disappear from the sight unless your file is completed. The police have power and are accountable to inspect the incident and create a detailed report. In addition, wherever any information is required to someone the police give complete information. Police information is always useful for the insurance group to process your claim promptly; therefore you should always give it a priority.
To clear your situation, take pictures of the site and exact spot. You can simply do it if you have integrated camera in cell phone. Note down the facts of the colliding car such as its shade, model-make, and registration number. Also record the details of the driver which should include driver's name, contact address, and cell number. Drawing the sight on the paper will also be useful. You should draw it carefully keeping in mind the side from which the cars are coming and how it actually took place. If there is some eyewitness, note down his/ her name, address, and contact number. The witness is useful if the other driver don't commit his mistake even if he is responsible.
After this, you must call your insurance company. It would be good for you if you call them when the police officer is present on the scene. The officer can explain the whole occurrence better than you as you may not be in your complete senses to narrate the event to your insurance company's representative.

If you involved in a minor accident then to keep yourself at bay from hassle, don't make a contact with the police and straighten out the issue all by yourself. The one who makes out he/she is guilty should pay damages to other, otherwise, everyone should follow the lengthy procedure and that will not be worth your precious time.
