What to Do When Your Car Gets Hit

[PiperLee]

Here are the steps to handle a car collision: 1. Stop and call the police. In case of a severe collision between two vehicles, immediately pull over, turn on the hazard lights, and place a warning triangle 150 meters behind the car. If there are any injuries, call 120 for an ambulance first, then contact the traffic police, and finally notify your insurance company. 2. Preserve the scene. For major accidents, it's crucial to protect the accident scene until the traffic police arrive to investigate and determine which party is at fault. 3. Claim compensation. If there are injuries, keep all hospital receipts. For vehicle damage, you can go to a 4S shop or a loss assessment center designated by the insurance company to assess the damage. Based on the insurance company's investigation and the determination of responsibility in the accident report, the insurance company will provide certain compensation.
