Getting into an accident is probably the last thing that people expect to get into when stepping foot in their cars. I’m sure most people do not plan on getting hit or hit someone else. Most people have no idea how to even handle an accident when it does happen.

Most questions asked are “What do I need?” “What do I hand the cop?” “What is my title?” Don’t worry, we’ve all been there.

Here is a checklist of some of the things you will need when you are in a car accident:

• Your local police number- no that is not 911

• Your title- usually half a piece of paper, most of the time kept in the glovebox

• Your registration- small piece of paper that is kept with your title in the glovebox

• Your license- hopefully, this is on you at all times

• Pictures of the vehicle(s)

• License plate numbers if need be

• Your insurance carrier

• The other person involved insurance carrier

• The person involved address, full name, etc.
