Stay Safe and Check for Injuries First
After a collision, your first priorities are safety and medical needs. Move out of traffic if possible, call emergency services when anyone is hurt, and avoid admitting fault at the scene.
Document Everything at the Scene
Photos of all vehicles, license plates, insurance cards, road conditions, and visible damage. Exchange information and get the police report number when available.
Contact Your Insurance Company
Contact your insurance company promptly and ask whether you can choose your own repair facility. Many states allow you to pick any qualified shop — not only a "preferred" provider.
Schedule a Thorough Estimate
Mobile estimates are convenient for light damage, but final pricing may change after an in-person teardown or inspection uncovers hidden issues.
