How to Deal with a Multi-Vehicle Accident?
Stay Calm and Secure the Accident Scene
Turn on your hazard lights and set up a warning triangle to alert other drivers. If there are injuries, call emergency services immediately.
Call the Police
In multi-vehicle accidents, police presence is crucial. They will document the incident and determine fault.
Gather Information
Collect details from all parties involved: name, phone number, license plate, and insurance information. Take photos of the scene and vehicle damages.
Contact Your Insurance Company
Notify your insurance company as soon as possible. They will guide you through the next steps.
Request a Damage Assessment from an Expert
As a KFZ Gutachter, I recommend getting a professional damage assessment. This will help you get an accurate repair estimate.
Let the Police Determine Fault
It’s best to let the police determine who is at fault. This ensures a fair and objective outcome.
Monitor Your Health
If you’re injured, visit a doctor even if you feel fine. Some injuries may manifest later.
Keep Documentation
Save all accident-related documents: police report, repair invoices, medical records, and the damage assessment.
Consult a Lawyer if Necessary
In complex cases, seek legal advice to protect your rights.
Be Patient
The post-accident process can be lengthy. Patience and organization are key to resolving the situation successfully.
