Tips on What to Do After an Auto Accident
Car accidents can happen in the blink of an eye. According to Car-Accidents.net,
they occur approximately 6.4 million times each year. Although being involved in a
car accident can be overwhelming, knowing what to do in the moments following a
fender-bender can help alleviate some of the stress and confusion of the situation.
The service specialists at Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge offer the following tips on how
to handle a car accident: Don't leave the vehicle. Following an accident, most
drivers will want to exit their vehicles to check for damage or speak with others
involved. Ideally, drivers should call the police and remain in their cars until the
authorities arrive. Drivers can protect themselves - both physically and legally by
remaining in their vehicles and allowing the Police to process the scene.
Cary a disposable camera use your Cell phone if it has memory. Although the police
report should capture the details of the accident it is always helpful to take photos
for your own documentation. After police are notified, call a towing service. You
should know exactly who is towing your vehicle and where it will be taken. For
easy access, keep a small business card in your wallet that contains the numbers of
several tow-truck companies and your repair shop or dealership's service
department. Call your insurance company. Most people think of this as something to
do later, but calling from the scene will help to expedite the processing and
administering of your claim. And, you will be able to relay accurate information in
real time instead of relying on memory.
Get an estimate on vehicle damage. Insurance companies may require only one
estimate on vehicle damage. However, it behooves the driver to get several
estimates, which may vary greatly. Review these reports carefully to understand
what you are paying and what the insurance company will cover. Don't be afraid to
ask. questions. Reputable repair shops will gladly address questions regarding the
required repairs

Dear Gene:
Today we live in a world of chronic complainers, thankful for
nothing and never expressing appreciation for all we as a people
and nation have been blessed
I want you to know how very appreciative I was for your help
beyond the call of duty on behalf of my Cadillac problems
Your integrity obviously is without peer. How easy for you
to have done the costly job without suggesting anything else.
However, you thought I should give the computer mode change an
opportunity to succeed, which apparently it has.
I did not understand all you expressed, nevertheless. I quickly
perceived I was dealing with a man of honorable intent
May God in a special way bless you and yours!
In special appreciation
