Be Ready For Whatever Comes Your Way

You never know when an accident may happen, but you can be prepared by knowing what to do after it happens. Knowing answers to even the most obvious questions such as where to get your vehicle repaired can aid in this stressful time.

What To Do When Involved In An Accident

The first thing you should do is determine if anyone is seriously injured. If someone is hurt, call 911 immediately and wait for a paramedic to arrive. It may be a good idea to call the local police so there is an official report of the accident.
