I've Been Involved In An Accident
Firstly - If anyone in your party or anyone else involved in the incident is injured CALL 911 immediately. All wireless phones, even those that are not subscribed to or supported by a specific carrier, can call 911.
For minor bumps and scrapes with no injuries you can call Florida Highway Patrol on 844 347 4747 and get an incident report number on the spot. As long as all party's can exchange insurance information and driving license information (and all are willing) then there is no need to have an Officer present.
If you can:
- Take pictures of the scene and the surrounding area.
- Take pictures of the damage (if any) to ALL vehicles and property.
- Make a note of the location - use your phones built in map to drop a pin.
- Make a note of the weather conditions, road conditions, any signage close by etc.
- Take pictures of any documents presented by those involved (licenses, insurance cards etc).
- Get details of any witnesses willing to be contacted.
Once it is safe to do so - CALL US! We will discuss next steps and the quickest way to get you back on the road.
