Things NOT to Do During a Car Accident

No one gets into their car each day hoping they can get into an accident. Accidents are no fun and can be expensive, emotional and all around stressful. Auto accidents happen all the time in Utah for a variety of reasons. Distractions, Utah weather, car failure and negligence can all play a part in why an accident happens. There are many ways an accident can play out and things you should not do when involved in an auto accident in Utah.

Leave the scene

Leave the scene

A hit and run can cause you a lot more trouble than dealing with the situation when it happens. Never leave the scene of an auto accident, especially if the other driver is willing to stop and work things out with you. Hit and runs are taken seriously in Utah and could result in large fines and even jail time.

Lose your cool

Lose your cool

Yes, car accidents can be upsetting and financially draining, but do not scream and yell at the other driver. Accidents do happen and that is something both parties need to understand when dealing with an auto accident. Anything you say can have an effect on the outcome of the accident.

Be dishonest

Be dishonest

Lying to Utah authorities and insurance companies won’t get you very far. Do not place the blame on the other driver if you are at fault and do not fake injuries. It is important to always be honest.

Not calling your insurance company

Not calling your insurance company

Insurances have policies in place and will not take your claim if you wait too long. You pay for insurance each month and that is why they exist, so they can help you when you have an accident. Always be honest and stay up to date with your case so you always know what is going on.

Ignore the damage on your car

Ignore the damage on your car

Ignoring the damage done to your car could cost you more money down the road. That broken rim may not seem like trouble during the summer, but once the Utah winter hits you want to have a safe car to avoid injuries to yourself and others. Get your car fixed as soon as possible after you are involved in an auto accident.
