If an Accident Occurs

Here is what to do if you are involved in an accident.

• Try to relax and then check to make sure you are all

right. If you are uninjured, make sure that no one else

in your vehicle, or the other vehicle, is injured.

• If there has been an injury, call 911 for help. Do not

leave the scene of an accident until all matters have

been taken care of. Move your vehicle only if its

position puts you in danger or you are instructed to

move it by a police officer.

• Give only the necessary and requested information

to police and other parties involved in the accident.

Do not discuss your personal condition, mental frame

of mind, or anything unrelated to the accident. This

will help guard against post-accident legal action.

• If you need roadside assistance, call GM Roadside

Assistance. See Roadside Assistance Program on

page 7-6 for more information.

• If your vehicle cannot be driven, know where the

towing service will be taking it. Get a card from the

tow truck operator or write down the driver’s name,

the service’s name, and the phone number.

• Remove any valuables from your vehicle before it is

towed away. Make sure this includes your insurance

information and registration if you keep these items

in your vehicle.

• Gather the important information you will need from

the other driver. Things like name, address, phone

number, driver’s license number, vehicle license

plate, vehicle make, model and model year, Vehicle

Identiﬁcation Number (VIN), insurance company and

policy number, and a general description of the

damage to the other vehicle.

• If possible, call your insurance company from the

scene of the accident. They will walk you through the

information they will need. If they ask for a police

report, phone or go to the police department

headquarters the next day and you can get a copy

of the report for a nominal fee. In some states with

“no fault” insurance laws, a report may not be

necessary. This is especially true if there are no

injuries and both vehicles are driveable.

• Choose a reputable collision repair facility for your

vehicle. Whether you select a GM dealer or a private

collision repair facility to ﬁx the damage, make sure

you are comfortable with them. Remember, you will

have to feel comfortable with their work for a

long time.

• Once you have an estimate, read it carefully and

make sure you understand what work will be

performed on your vehicle. If you have a question,

ask for an explanation. Reputable shops welcome

this opportunity.
