Share only pertinent information at the scene.
Provide only your driver's license and registration to the other driver, injured persons, or police officers. Do NOT discuss the circumstances of the accident with anyone except the police. Do NOT discuss responsibility with anyone except a positively identified representative of your insurance company.

[  ]

Arrange for towing your vehicle.
Don't sign any towing release that authorizes repair of your vehicle unless you have decided to have your car repaired by the facility where the towing company will take your car.

[  ]

Complete an Accident Record.
Write down everything you can remember about the accident. Include as many details as possible. Revisit the scene at a later time if necessary to take pictures.

Draw a diagram of the accident marking the vehicles involved (A, B, C, etc.) and showing the direction the vehicles were traveling and where accident occurred. Mark street names, stop signs, traffic lights, and other landmarks. Describe other pertinent information:

Report the accident to the Department of Motor Vehicles.

[  ]

Notify your Insurance Agent immediately.

Evaluate repair estimates carefully.
Washington State Law protects you. You have the right to take your vehicle to the repair facility of your choice and are not obligated to use the repair shop mandated by your insurance company. Make sure all necessary repairs are fully itemized. Ask questions: Was the alignment checked? Why is the hood being repaired, not replaced? and so on.
