When involved in an accident it may become difficult to think clearly, so it is important to call your insurance company as soon as you can using the 800-number on your insurance slip. Calling while still at the scene of the accident can also help your insurance representative get vital information from the responding officer, as well as allowing you to get quick information on auto-body shops and a rental car. You should reserve all of your discussions about the accident only for your insurance representative and the responding police officer – do not admit liability, fault, or speak about your physical well being unless you are in need of immediate medical assistance.
