How to Handle a Car Accident?
2 Answers
Call the police and seek help from traffic officers to resolve the car accident. Reporting the accident helps secure the scene and clarify responsibilities between both parties. Notify the insurance company to inspect the vehicle. The compensation amount for compulsory traffic insurance is fixed, with different items subject to limits. Any excess will be covered by commercial insurance. Traffic officers will arrive to investigate the accident process and manage traffic. Organize rescue efforts for the injured and take measures to restore traffic as soon as possible. Traffic officers will conduct on-site inspections of the accident scene and collect evidence.
If my car is involved in an accident, I will immediately pull over to the side of the road and turn on the hazard lights to ensure that myself and others are not injured by secondary collisions. I will place a triangular warning sign about 50 meters behind the car to alert oncoming vehicles. If anyone is injured, I will not hesitate to call 120 for an ambulance and wait for professional medical personnel to handle the situation. Then, I will call 122 to report the accident, providing details such as the time, location, and vehicle conditions, so that traffic police can make a record and determine liability. I will exchange information with the other driver, such as names, phone numbers, license plate numbers, and insurance company names, and take photos of the damaged areas of the vehicles and the overall scene to preserve evidence. After the accident, I will notify my insurance company as soon as possible to file a claim and arrange for a repair shop to inspect the car's condition. I also recommend taking a few days off after the accident to calm down before driving again, to avoid psychological stress affecting driving judgment.
