Important Information: What to do in case of an accident

1. STOP - Failure to stop at the scene of an accident in which you are involved is a criminal offense.
2. NOTIFY THE POLICE - Let them know of any apparent injuries or fire hazards at the scene. If there is no phone nearby, you may need to ask someone to phone the police or highway patrol.
3. PROTECT THE SCENE - If possible, move your vehicle out of traffic to park safely. Turn on your 4-way flasher. Set out emergence reflectors 200 to 300 feet behind involved vehicles to warn approaching traffic.
4. GET AND RECORD ALL THE FACTS - You should have an accident report kit in your vehicle to record accident details. Get the name, address and phone numbers of witnesses. Get needed information from anyone else involved in the accident including insurance information, passenger name and addresses. This information is appropriate even if the accident appears to be minor or without damage.
5. PROTECT ANY CARGO AND EQUIPMENT - Avoid leaving your cargo and equipment unattended except in extreme emergencies.
6. GENERAL INSTRUCTION:
   • Be courteous - do not argue - keep calm
   • Do not talk about the accident, except to a police officer.
   • Make not settlements or offers of settlement to anyone at anytime.
   • Give your name and address to the injured person or a police officer before leaving the scene.
   • Do not sign any statement or reports except official police reports.
7. CONTACT THE APPROPRIATE INSURANCE COMPANY - Tell them if your vehicle is either being towed or driven to the Joe Holland Body Shop. A claims adjuster will contact you and our Body Shop to discuss repairs.
