In the event of a traffic accident, it is essential to report to the police promptly. The details are as follows: Process for handling traffic accidents: (1) On-site investigation by the traffic department; (2) Determination of liability for the traffic accident by the traffic department; (3) Organization of compensation mediation by the traffic department; (4) Filing a lawsuit in the People's Court; (5) Application for compulsory enforcement. Legal basis: According to Article 79 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, traffic management departments of public security organs and their traffic police officers, when implementing road traffic safety management, shall act in accordance with their statutory powers and procedures, simplify procedures, and ensure fairness, strictness, civility, and efficiency.

After an accident, I believe the top priority is ensuring safety. Immediately pull over to the side of the road where you won't obstruct traffic, and turn on the hazard lights. Check yourself and others for injuries; if anyone is seriously injured, call 120 for an ambulance right away. Then dial 122 to report the accident to the police, providing the location and details of the incident so they can determine liability. Exchange driver's license information, license plate numbers, and contact details with the other driver—this step is crucial, so don't forget it. Use your phone to take photos of the entire scene: the collision points, the overall positioning of the vehicles, and the surrounding environment, as evidence. Afterward, contact your insurance company to report the accident and provide details, letting them handle the claim. Stay calm throughout the process and avoid arguments. If your car is undrivable after the accident, call a towing service. Safety always comes first; experience has taught me this approach helps avoid further complications. Don’t forget to get a medical checkup afterward—your health is what matters most.

At the moment of the accident, I realized protecting the children was crucial. I parked the car safely and turned on the hazard lights; comforted the kids to prevent them from being scared, and checked if they had any bumps or bruises. If anyone was bleeding, I would call 120 for emergency help immediately; waited calmly for the police to arrive, and took photos when exchanging insurance and ID information. Then I notified the insurance company to explain the situation; I learned not to argue with the other party after an accident, and that safe driving habits can prevent such incidents. Afterwards, I took my family to relax to reduce tension; when sending the car for repairs, I made sure everything was safe. As a parent, focusing more on the traffic at the scene to avoid secondary accidents is the core.

In case of an accident, handle it quickly to avoid delays. Park in a safe location and turn on hazard lights; check for injuries and call the police at 122. Exchange names, license plate numbers, and insurance details with the other party, take a few photos and save them on your phone. Email your insurance company to report the incident; don’t waste time—quickly contact a tow truck or repair shop. Keep the entire process efficient to minimize delays; follow up on emails for the claim later. Simple, direct, and hassle-free.
