Car accidents<\/a>\u00a0are startling and potentially catastrophic events. One second you can be calmly singing your favourite song on the way to work, the next you can be on the shoulder collecting insurance information.

Knowing what to do after a car accident is essential for protecting your interests and building a strong insurance claim or legal case. Here are the key steps to take at the accident scene to give yourself the best chances of a successful claim.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

What to do At the Scene of a Car Accident<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

According to\u00a0Ontario traffic regulations<\/a>, failing to stop your car at the scene of the accident is considered a crime, so stop your car and, if possible, move your vehicle to a safe location away from traffic. If you cannot move the vehicle, activate your hazard lights and set up road flares, if available.<\/p>

Then, dial 911 and remain at the scene until police and first responders show up. The police officer will assess the situation, document the incident, and begin gathering evidence. This police report can be useful down the road if you decide to file a tort claim against the other driver or other third party.<\/p>

Exchange insurance information with other involved drivers and document the accident scene by taking photographs and recording the events leading up to it. Note essential details, such as the date, time, weather conditions, estimated speed, accident type, and a description of events.<\/p>

Do not forget to obtain the other driver\u2019s information. You will need their name, address, contact information, driver\u2019s license number, vehicle license plate, vehicle make and colour, registered owner details, and vehicle identification number.<\/p>

In Ontario, insurance compensation is paid out by the at-fault driver\u2019s company so it is important to remember to exchange insurance information. The involved insurers will investigate the accident to determine fault and pay out accordingly.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

After the accident, it is time to start dealing with the damages. First things first, seek immediate medical assistance if you have sustained any injuries. Even injuries that appear minor at first can have lasting consequences.\u00a0<\/p>

Then there is the burden of seeking insurance coverage and financial compensation. In Ontario, you file all insurance claims through your insurance provider, regardless of who was at fault. You will have to file a claim within 30 days (but preferably within 24 hours) to maximize your chances of having your claim approved.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
