Car accidents are scary and overwhelming even when no one is injured, so it’s easy to freeze up and not be sure what you should do. Discount Towing and Recovery regularly helps at accident scenes throughout the Mountain Home, AR, area with towing services.

They’re here with step-by-step instructions for what you should do in the event of a crash:

• Stay Calm: Whatever happens, take a deep breath and stay calm. Ask if anyone is injured; if they are, call 911 immediately. Don’t move anyone who is injured yourself. Call the police right away even if no one is hurt. If your car is in the road or a hazardous area, get yourself and your passengers to a safe area.
• Take Photos: Get as many photos as possible of the damage to each car and the overall scene. The more evidence you have, the smoother the insurance process will be.
• Take Information: Get as much information as you can from the other driver—license plate number, make and model of their car, first and last name, phone number, address, and insurance company and policy number.
• Call Insurance: Call your insurance company as soon as possible to begin the claim filing process. Even if you don’t finish it right away, you can get it moving and then return to finish it when the accident has been fully cleared.
• Towing Details: Find out from your insurer if your policy covers towing and roadside assistance. They may have a recommended towing service in the area. The police may be able to refer you to someone local as well.
