Immediately after a car accident, it can be difficult to remember exactly what to do next. That’s why Avrek Law has put together a Vehicle Accident Report Kit. Print this off and keep it in your glove box, or bookmark the link for future access. It’s hard to know how to prepare for an accident, but by following these steps, you’ll have the information you need to file an insurance claim and report the incident to the state Department of Motor Vehicles. You’ll also have all the details required to start a legal case if you need to sue the other driver for additional compensation.

  • Stay calm and assess the scene.
  • Call 911 (if medical attention required), or the state non-emergency number.

  • DON’T ADMIT FAULT!

  • Refer to the checklist.
  • Gather the other party’s information.
