Getting into a car accident can be a pretty jarring experience. It’s not the time you want to be figuring out how to proceed.

While we hope you never need this information, we thought we’d share a few important tips in the event of an accident:

☑️ Do not admit fault. Don’t discuss the accident with anyone other than the police and your attorney.
☑️ Gather information. Get driver's license information, insurance policy information, license plate numbers, and names and contact information of the driver and witnesses.
☑️ Take photos. Take photos of the crash scene, the people and vehicles involved, and the license plates.
☑️ Never refuse medical treatment. You may not realize you're injured due to elevated adrenaline after a crash.

If you're ever in a car accident, know that we’re here to help you through the aftermath. Do you have any other tips for what to do in the event of an accident? Share them with us in the comments ⬇️

Driving is an everyday activity for most of us, making it easy for drivers to go on autopilot along with their cars 🚘

But given that two out of every three people will be involved in an accident with serious injuries, it’s important to remain vigilant, no matter how many times you’ve stepped into the driver’s seat.

Here are a few 🔑 ways to do just that:

🚗 Wear your seatbelt - Wearing a seatbelt is the most effective way to reduce fatality risk in a crash. In fact, the NHTSA says seatbelts cut crash-related serious injuries and deaths by half.

🚗 Practice defensive driving - Be aware of what other drivers around you are doing, expect the unexpected, and keep a two-second cushion between you and the car in front of you.

🚗 Don’t multi-task while driving - Multi-tasking while driving is dangerous and can cause you to swerve, hit other cars, or run into stationary objects on the side of the road.

🚗 Don’t drive impaired - Alcohol and drugs impair decision-making and alertness even if you feel fine–and so does being tired. Controlled studies show drowsy driving can cause a similar amount of crashes as drunken driving.
