Your Local Guide to Staying Safe, Staying Legal, and Getting Fast Crash Repairs
Minor car accidents happen more often than we would like—whether it is a low-speed bump at Tesco in Clevedon or an unfortunate collision in traffic. While the damage may seem small, it is important to know what to do next to protect yourself, your vehicle, and your wallet.
As a trusted provider of car accident repair in Clevedon, we have put together a simple post-accident checklist to guide you through those first crucial steps—and explain how we can help get your vehicle back on the road, quickly and safely.
Post-Accident Checklist: What to Do After a Minor Crash
Check for Injuries and Stay Safe
Even in a low-speed crash, safety is your first priority.
Check yourself and passengers for injuries.
If safe, move your vehicle to the side of the road.
Switch on your hazard lights.
If anyone is injured or there's obstruction on the road, call 999 immediately.
Exchange Details
By law, you must exchange:
Full name and address
Vehicle registration
Insurance information (if requested)
Take down the same from the other driver(s). Also gather:
Contact details of any witnesses
Photos of the accident scene and vehicle damage
Time, location, and weather conditions
Even for small accidents, this can help smooth the insurance process.
Do not Admit Fault at the Scene
Keep things calm and factual. The details you provide will be used by insurers to assess liability—so do not guess or admit blame before all facts are known.
Notify Your Insurance Company/Accident Management Company
Let your insurer or accident management company know what happened as soon as possible. They will ask for:
Date and time of the accident
Who was involved
A description of the damage
Registration number of the other party
We would always recommend speaking with an accident management company before your insurer in the event on a non-fault accident. We will cover more about this in another blog post – stay tuned!
