Assess Injuries 

Before you can move from the vehicle, you want to ensure it is safe. Start by assessing yourself for any injuries before getting out of the seat. If you have a passenger, check on them only after you know it is safe to move.  

Get to Safety  

It's not uncommon for someone to be unhurt in a collision only to be injured afterward because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. If you can move the car to the shoulder, do that. If you can't, turn your car's hazards on, place flares if you have them, get yourself and your passengers to a safe place on the roadside ASAP, and then call 911.  

Exchange Information 

If you were involved in an accident with another vehicle, you will want to connect with the other driver. Make sure to exchange both contact information and insurance information. This will make it easier for you to get the necessary vehicle repairs when the time comes.  

Document the Scene 

You also want to be sure there is good data about the accident when you speak with your insurance. Begin by safely taking as many pictures as you can. If there are any eyewitnesses to the event, you'll want to record what they saw and their contact information. When it's ready, you'll also want to get a copy of the police report.  

Schedule Vehicle Repairs 

Once you have been assessed by the medical team and the scene has been released, you can schedule vehicle repairs at your nearest Hall body shop. We'll inspect your vehicle to see what needs to be fixed or replaced, and provide free estimates on all repair services, including the price difference between OEM auto parts and aftermarket parts.
