THE ACCIDENT SCENE

You Had an Auto Accident: What To Do Now

It’s easy to say, but hard to do: Stay Calm. If you’re like most drivers who have had accidents, you may make costly, long-term decision errors immediately following an accident because fear will give way to anger and frustration. Questions race through your head. Was it my fault? Will my car ever be the same? What are my rights and responsibilities? A calm and informed reaction to an accident will reduce your chances for additional problems and expense.
