Accident Guide
What to Do After an Accident
Follow these steps to protect your health, your repair rights and the full value of your vehicle claim.
Step 1
Immediate Medical & Legal Guidance
- Make sure everyone is safe and call 911 if anyone is hurt.
- Get a medical evaluation even if you feel fine — some injuries appear later.
- Request the police report number and photograph the scene, vehicles and plates.
- Exchange insurance details with the other driver; do not admit fault.
- We can connect you with trusted medical providers and specialized legal counsel for injuries.
Step 2
Vehicle Routing & Shop Assessment
- You choose the repair shop — the insurer cannot force you to use theirs.
- Have your vehicle towed to a qualified facility rather than leaving it in storage fees.
- Ask for a full teardown estimate so hidden damage is documented.
- Ask about loss of use and rental coverage while your vehicle is down.
Step 3
Maximize Property Claim Recovery
- Do not accept the first estimate or total loss offer before it is reviewed.
- We audit the estimate and demand OEM parts and proper repair procedures.
- For total losses, we challenge lowball valuations with local market comparisons.
- After repairs, we pursue diminished value for your vehicle’s lost market value.
- No upfront fees — our fee applies only to additional money we secure.
