Have you ever had an auto accident and forgot to
get the other persons driver's license or plate
number, or the name of a witness? Then this page
is designed for you (and me :-). Below is our 7
tips on what to do if you are ever involved in an
accident. If we are too late and you have already
had an accident then you can follow this link to
1st Notice Claim Form. .
If you or any of your passengers are injured be sure to
go to the hospital or see your doctor.
If your vehicle is still drivable you should pull to the
side of the road to protect yourself from curious drivers.
If there is another vehicle involved try to get the following
information: Driver's name, address, driver's license
#, date of birth, vehicle owner's name, address, vehicle
year, make and model, color, license plate #, and insurance
company.
A witness could be your best defense if you and the other
party file conflicting accident reports. The statement
from an unrelated third party could be used by the insurance
company to help determine who's story is correct. Also
make sure the police understand your side of the story.
While it is not necessary for you to call us at the accident
scene, you should contact us as soon as possible. You
can email us a 1st Notice Claim Form or call us at
508-746-0030 in Plymouth or 781-293-5500 in
Pembroke.
Although email is wonderful the telephone is still the
better for immediate 2 way communication.
When there is physical damage over $1,000 or any Bodily
Injury you must by state law complete and submit the Operators
Report of Motor Vehicle Accident to the RMV
and the local police within 5 days of the accident. You
can get a copy of this form by clicking on the link above.
The form is in Adobe PDF format. This report is very
useful because it allows you to draw a diagram of the
accident and give your statement as to what happened.
If you receive legal documents regarding your accident
you must notify your insurance company. In order for
your insurance company to properly represent you they
should be kept up to date of any new information.
When in doubt you can always call us. That's what we
are here for. |
