Auto Accident Claim Checklist
At the accident scene
- Obtain the other driver’s name address telephone number and insurance information.
- Get the names addresses and phone numbers of any witnesses.
- Get the name of the police officer who comes to the scene of the accident. Ask when and where a copy of the police report will be available.
- Get medical attention right away, regardless of whether you think you’ve been injured. Often sometimes symptoms from an injury will not come up until several days after an accident.
- Write down everything you can remember about the accident as soon as possible. If possible, try to diagram the scene of the accident, the direction that the vehicles were going, the location of witnesses, and any other important details you can remember.
- Take pictures of the accident scene before any vehicles get towed or moved away from the scene of the accident.
- Investigate damage to the vehicle which may not be apparent from photos or physical evidence. Have a professional inspect the undercarriage and frame of the vehicle to see if the car’s mechanical functions are all in order.
After the Accident:
- Investigate benefits such as health insurance, disability insurance, workers compensation, personal injury protection, and medical payments benefits.
- Obtain copies of all relevant insurance policies with endorsements and declarations pages.
- Document all communications you have with insurance adjusters. • Seek guidance from a personal injury attorney if you need assistance. • Settle the property damage claim for your vehicle.
- Maintain a journal that describes your pain and discomfort from your injuries and the impact of the accident on your lifestyle.
- If you have pre-existing injuries, obtain all relevant medical records which predate the accident.
