Car accidents\u00a0always<\/em>\u00a0happen when we least expect it. Truth is, these unexpected car accidents will leave you feeling\u00a0demoralised, frustrated and upset. However, panicking after a car accident will not provide a way out.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

This is a\u00a0checklist of things to do when accidents occur.<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

1) Do NOT panic and note all\u00a0relevant information<\/strong><\/h4>\r\nIn any accident, don't panic (although we're pretty sure that's the first thing you're going to do -- but try anyway) and always prioritise safety. Noting down the details of the accident itself\u00a0such as date, time, and location<\/strong> is very important. While you take\u00a0note of all this information, try to write a detailed description of what exactly happened starting from the weather condition and injuries to comments made by all the parties\u00a0involved.\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\nA wise advice would be to write it down as soon as you can as you might forget details over time.\u00a0This information might be useful when dealing with the authorities or filing an insurance claim days or even weeks after the accident.\r\n

2) Take photos\u00a0as evidence<\/strong><\/h4>\r\nBesides noting down\u00a0all\u00a0the details of the accident down to the nitty gritty bits, you should also take photos of\u00a0the vehicles, car plate numbers, and the damages. Also, you might want to take pictures of the surrounding areas the of accident, road intersection and direction of traffic that could be used as a strong evidence.\r\n\"\"\r\n

3) Try to reach a compromise between\u00a0the parties involved<\/strong><\/h4>\r\nIn any kinds of accident,\u00a0it is important\u00a0to settle things calmly\u00a0between the parties involved.\u00a0You might want to call the police if there are major damage or injuries involved. In the meantime, be amiable and cooperative when talking to the opposite\u00a0party, even if it was their fault. Exchange necessary information such as name, contact information, vehicle number, and NRIC.\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\nOf course, it would help\u00a0if you can take a picture of the NRIC and the car itself!\r\n

4) Find the right workshop to get your car fixed<\/strong><\/h4>\r\nLooking for the nearest and right workshop around you after an accident may be futile, especially if you are feeling exhausted after what has happened to your car. To help you out of these sticky situations you might face from time to time, you can head to Carro Workshop.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"Carro\r\n\r\nCheck out workshop.carro.sg<\/a> or contact us to know more!<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"Car","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
