It is against the law not to stop at the scene of an accident if someone is injured or damage has been caused. Ensure that the scene does not become a hazard to other drivers. Get everyone to switch off their engines, turn on their hazard lights and make sure oncoming traffic is aware of the accident. Dial 999 if anyone is hurt, or someone leaves the scene without exchanging details. If you think the accident scene may be hazardous to other drivers get the police by calling 999.
Stay calm. Don’t admit blame no matter how clear-cut you may think the cause of the accident is. Use a notepad to sketch out how the accident happened whilst you are still at the scene. Note down street names, vehicle locations and direction of travel, skid marks, collision points and any damage. Back this up with photos, most mobile phones have cameras these days.
By law, all drivers involved in the actual accident must give their contact details to each other. Note down names, addresses, phone numbers and insurance details for each vehicle involved. Also take down the names and addresses of any witnesses, including passengers from the other vehicles involved.
Record any other details you think may be of importance e.g. if you think the driver of the other vehicle has been drinking or using a mobile phone note this down. Make a note of any weather conditions that may have contributed to the accident, e.g. rain or fog. If there is damage to the road surface or cars parked in such away as to contribute to the accident note this down too.
If you hit a farm animal or dog you must report that incident to the police. If you hit a wild animal or cat you do not have to report it, as long as the animal is not injured or suffering. Always stop to check the condition of the animal, but stop in a safe place and walk back to find the animal if you need to.
You must notify your insurance company immediately of any collision you are involved in, regardless of whether a claim will be necessary. Send your insurer all the notes of the incident you took from the scene.
