This way, you can be sure that any fault from the other driver is caught on tape.<\/p>\n<p>First things first, however, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carvillesautomart.com\/blog\/what-to-do-after-getting-in-a-car-accident\/\">at the scene of the accident<\/a> you should be sure to check and see if everyone is alright, then exchange insurance information with the driver who you\u2019ve collided with. This way, it\u2019ll be easier to file a claim and explain your case. In addition, it doesn\u2019t hurt to take some pictures of the crash or talk to eyewitnesses in the area, who can back you up when it\u2019s time to negotiate a settlement with the insurance company.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div class=\"wrc-column-grid wrc-column-grid-2\">\n<div  class=\"wrc-column wrc-column-width-1 wrc-column-start\" >\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dealerfireblog.com\/carvillesautomart\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/388\/2018\/03\/Car-in-hand_b.jpg\" alt=\"Hands holding small car to illustrate insurance coverage\" width=\"500\" height=\"275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/70\/2018\/03\/23084715\/Car-in-hand_b.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/70\/2018\/03\/23084715\/Car-in-hand_b-300x165.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"wrc-column wrc-column-width-1 wrc-column-end\" >\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1401\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dealerfireblog.com\/carvillesautomart\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/388\/2018\/03\/Car-after-collision_b.jpg\" alt=\"Wrecked front fender of vehicle after collision in daytime\" width=\"500\" height=\"275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/70\/2018\/03\/23084716\/Car-after-collision_b.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/70\/2018\/03\/23084716\/Car-after-collision_b-300x165.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .wrc-column-grid --><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>What to say to your insurance company during a claim settlement<\/h3>\n<p>After you\u2019ve got everything taken care of on the accident scene, you\u2019ll want to make sure to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carvillesautomart.com\/blog\/car-insurance-plans-offered-at-carvilles-auto-mart\/\">inform your insurance company<\/a> about the collision.
