Toyota of Orlando's tips: What to do after a car accident!

Our Orlando Toyota Collision Center can help you prep for the worst

  • However, let's say the worst happens and you do find yourself in an accident. Our Toyota Collision Center recommends that you first try to move the car to the side of the road if the damage is minimal enough – you want to get out of the way of traffic so no one gets hurt. If you're car requires too extensive of auto repairs to be moved, then stay inside of it so you're not standing near oncoming traffic, especially if visibility is poor! 
  • After you've done that, be sure to contact the proper emergency personnel like the police and EMTs if anyone has injuries. Make sure everyone is alright and never try to move someone who's been injured! 
  • The next step our Orlando Toyota Collision Center recommends taking is to document and swap info. Write everything down – including what happened in the accident – and take pictures of the damage. You should trade contact and insurance information with the other driver, as well as vehicle info. Try to also get contact info from any witnesses, and be sure to file an accident report. Even if law enforcement doesn't come to the scene, you can file one online at your local DMV website for documentation purposes.
