 | Call the police if anyone has been injured, if damage to either vehicle is
more that $500.00, or if one of the drivers has committed an offence.
|
 | Write down the name, address and drivers license number of the other
drivers. If the driver does not own the car, ask for information on the
registered owner.
|
 | Get the license number, make, model and year of the other car.
|
 | If the police come to the scene, ask for a copy of their report, or the
file number they have assigned to it.
|
 | Get the names and addresses of any witnesses.
|
 | Write down your description of the accident, while the details are still
fresh in your mind. Sketch or take pictures of the scene.
|
 | If the damage was not sufficient to call the police, go to a police
station as soon as possible to report the accident. Note the file number the
police have assigned to it.
|
 | Regardless of which driver was at fault, call your insurance company or
agent. You will be asked by an insurance adjuster to give an accident report. |
