The answer to the question of what should I do if I had an accident;


The moment of the accident is a stressful and complicated situation for many. However, taking the right steps is extremely important for both your safety and the healthy progress of the legal process. Here's what to do after an accident:


  • Ensure Security


The first priority after the accident is to ensure your safety. If the accident is mild, try to tow your vehicles to a safe area. In larger accidents, moving can be risky, so choose to stay in your vehicles.


  • Call for Help


Depending on the severity of the accident, you should immediately call for assistance by calling the emergency service (112). If there are injured, it is vital to call an ambulance.


  • Assess the Situation


At the time of the accident, assess the situation around you. Contact drivers on other vehicles and check if they are injured. If you can do it safely, photograph the location of the accident.


  • Report to the Police


After the accident, it is important to report the situation to the police. The police will prepare an accident report and help you in future legal processes. Getting a copy of the report may be useful in the future.

  • Information Exchange


By communicating with other drivers, get their names, contact information, license plate numbers and insurance information. It may also be useful to record the information of witnesses at the scene.

 

  • Checkup


It is important to apply to a health institution immediately after the accident. Some injuries may not manifest themselves immediately. Controlling your health can prevent future problems.

 

  • Contact the Insurance Company


Contacting your insurance company after the accident is important for the start of the compensation process. Accurately reporting the incident and damage ensures that the process proceeds in a healthy way.

 

  • Document the Incident


Keep all post-accident documents (police report, insurance documents, hospital reports) on a regular basis. These documents will help you in the future.


Steps to be taken in the event of an accident are critical to both your safety and legal process. Following the steps mentioned above will make the post-accident process easier and smoother. Remember, the most important thing is to always keep your security at the forefront.
