What To Do If Your Hyundai Car Gets into an Accident

Scheduling repairs after damage or an accident may seem overwhelming, but don’t worry — the Hyundai Collision Center here at Kearny Mesa Hyundai has your back. We’re sharing all you need to know about caring for your vehicle, and what to do in the event of an accident. Here’s a quick look at what to do in an accident.

Get to Safety

The most important thing is your safety. Check yourself for injuries and then move out of the way of hazards or traffic, either in your vehicle or on foot. If you have passengers, check yourself first and then get to them.

Call For Help

Once you’re safe, put in a call to emergency services. The police will handle the details of the accident, and paramedics may be dispatched to make sure that everyone is safe.

Alert Other Drivers

If possible, you want to alert other drivers about the hazard. Employ your vehicle’s hazard lights or display flares or reflectors around your vehicle.

Exchange Info

Once everyone is safe and emergency units have been called, speak with the other driver, if possible. Exchange contact and insurance information.

Document the Scene

The more information you have about the accident, the better. Take photos and witness statements, as well as the names and badge info of the responding police officers.

Contact Your Insurance Company

Once home from the accident, contact your insurance company to file a claim. Once you do, you can begin the Hyundai repairs and Hyundai part replacement process.

Visit a Collision Center

As soon as possible after filing a claim, get your car to a quality collision center. Its technicians will get you back out on the road in a car that looks good as new!
