Anything can happen on the open road in Fairless Hills, PA, so being prepared for the unexpected is key for drivers. Unfortunately, accidents happen, but it is important that you remain calm while taking the necessary steps to handle the situation.
We want you to know that our team at Peruzzi Buick GMC is here for you with customer care and expert Buick service in all types of situations. Here are our best post-car accident tips.
Step One: Check for Injuries
No matter who is at fault for the accident, the safety of everyone involved is what matters most. Check the condition of yourself, your passengers, and the individuals in the other vehicle. If there are injuries, call 9-1-1 to get an ambulance on the scene.
Step Two: Move Your Vehicle
If your GMC Terrain is still running, you will need to move it to the shoulder of the road to avoid being hit by other moving cars. Ideally, we recommend setting up flares or reflective cones around your car to alert other cars.
Step Three: Call Police
Even if there are no injuries involved, you will still need to call the police to file a report for your insurance. When the police arrive, all drivers will give their sides of the story and the officer will take notes to determine who is at fault.
Step Four: Gather Information
You will need some information for your insurance company from the other driver(s) involved, including names, insurance companies, and phone numbers. You will also need the police report number, police officer’s name, and photos of the damage.
Step Five: Repair
To get your car back in tip-top shape, look to our Peruzzi Collision Center. All insurance companies are welcome and our team of certified technicians will repair all damage in a timely manner.
