At the Scene

Immediate Steps Following an Accident

A few simple actions at the scene can make your claim quicker and smoother. Here is what to do if you are ever involved in an accident.

Step One

Try to Remain Calm

Assess the situation carefully. If anyone is injured, there is a risk of fire from leaking fuel, or you suspect the other driver may be under the influence of alcohol or drugs, call the emergency services immediately.

If there are no serious injuries or immediate safety risks to other road users, the emergency services may not attend. In this case, it is important to gather and record as much information as possible at the scene of the accident.

Step Two

Do Not Discuss the Accident or Admit Fault at the Scene

Being involved in a car accident can be extremely stressful, so it is important to stay calm and composed. Avoid discussing who was at fault at the scene, and do not make any statements about liability if you are later contacted by the other driver or their insurer.

Anything you say regarding responsibility could potentially be used against you during your claim process.
