What To Do After
An Accident
In the first instance you should:
- If the car accident is minor, move vehicles out of traffic to a safe place.
- Turn off your vehicle and turn on the hazard lights.
- If your vehicle is damaged to the point of needing to be towed, a tow truck will be dispatched by the Government Registered Towing Roster (can be contacted on 08 8231 5555) you just need to ask for your vehicle to be towed to our workshop… IT IS YOUR RIGHT TO HAVE YOUR VEHICLE TOWED TO A REPAIRER OF YOUR CHOICE.
- Check for injuries; call an ambulance when in doubt.
- Call the police, even if the accident is minor. A police report can be invaluable to the claim process and help establish who’s at fault.

- Driver’s license numbers
- License plate numbers
- Insurance companies and policy numbers
