I just got into a car accident....Now what?

August 5, 2013

Recently, I had been in a minor car accident. When the other driver and myself got out of our cars, we realzed that neither of us really knew what to do. I am going to take this opportunity to let you know some guidelines.

First and foremost, make sure eveyone is OK.

REPORT the accident to the police if their are any injuries or if the vehicle is not driveable. If the vehicles are still able to be driven, move off to the side of the road.

REGINA POLICE 306-777-6500

RCMP REGINA 306-780-5560

SASKATOON POLICE 306-957-8300

RCMP SASKATOON 306-310-7267

If the police are not needed you need to make sure you OBTAIN some information about the other party and you give them the same information.

Vehicle description and Plate number

Driver's name and Phone number

Registered owner of the vehicle

Insurance Company and Policy number (if they have it)

Date and Time

Location

Any witnesses names and numbers

At Galon Insurance we also have this information on cards that you keep with your registration. They are free to everyone.

Most vehicles are insured/registered through SGI. SGI can be contacted directly over the phone or you can submit a claim through their eclaim service online. I used the eClaim option and it was fast and easy.

I hope that none of you have to use this, but if you do, I hope that you find it helpful.

DRIVE SAFE!
