Obtaining contact details after a car collision is crucial for resolving claims and potential legal matters. Immediately after an accident, prioritize safety and medical assistance if needed. Then, gather information from the other driver, including their full name, phone number, address, license plate number, and insurance details. If possible, take photos of the vehicles involved and the scene of the accident.
Also, obtain details of any witnesses and also obtain CCTV / dashcam footage, if available.
In situations where the other driver is uncooperative or refuses to provide their information, note down any available details, such as their vehicle’s make, model, and color, as well as any distinguishing features. Witness statements and police reports can also aid in identifying the other party.
Promptly notify us and provide us with the gathered information. Remember to stay calm and cooperative throughout the process, focusing on ensuring everyone’s safety and facilitating a smooth resolution to the situation.
