In Case of an Accident


What to do at the accident scene:
  • Stop! Do not leave the scene. If your car is creating a safety hazard, or you're concerned with your personal safety, move to a safer place.
  • Check for Injuries. Life & health are more important than damage to vehicles.
  •  Note specific damage to all vehicles.
  •  Call the police immediately and follow their instructions.
  •  Write down accident information including names, addresses, & license numbers of persons involved and the description(s) of the other vehicle(s).
  •  Write down witness information. This assist in verifying how the accident actually happened.
  •  Exchange vehicle and insurance information with the other party (ies) to the accident.
  •  Do not sign any document unless it is requested by the police or your insurance company.

The proper steps to take after a collision:

  •  Contact your Insurance Company or insurance agent immediately after the accident.
  •  Call you nearest CRASH1  location if your vehicle is not drivable, to arrange towing. Towing assistance is available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, including holidays. If your vehicle has already been towed to a storage lot, minimize storage charges by moving your vehicle to a CRASH1  location as soon as possible.
  •  If your insurance company requests that you obtain an estimate on your own, your nearest CRASH1  location will provide a free estimate of repairs, and assist you with your claim. CRASH1  locations repair vehicles for all insurers.
  •  If your Insurance Company will be writing the Estimate, your claim will be assigned an adjuster that will review the damage to your vehicle onsite at your nearest CRASH1  location.
  •  We will explain the repair process to you before we begin, and encourage your questions.
  •  Authorize your CRASH1 location to repair your vehicle by signing a work authorization. This authorization allows us to converse with your insurance company on your behalf to ensure proper repairs and payment.
  •  Ask us to make the arrangements for a shuttle or a rental vehicle. Your transportation needs during the repair process are important to us.
  •  We want you to be completely satisfied with the repairs to your vehicle. CRASH1  will provide a Limited Lifetime National Warranty on the repairs to your vehicle.
