India is well-known for having the most number of road accidents in the whole world. After a car accident, most of us feel stunned and it takes some time to make sense of the situation. There is no matter how good your driving is, accidents on the road do happen. We have mentioned some useful guidelines that what we should do after a road accident, which can help reduce the additional stress of sorting everything out following the incident.
(A) Firstly when Accidents happen always try to stay calm and don't lose your temper. Don't confess blame at the scene of the accident or recommend any form of settlement.
(B) If you hits a dog or farm animal through your vehicle, you are required by law to report the incident to the police. If you hit a cat or wild animal, there is no compulsion to report it, but you must ensure that the animal is not injured or suffering.
(C) Take away the injured to the nearest private or Govt. Hospital through the Ambulance or also take the help of Ambulance with ventilator services in serious condition. At the Govt Hospital we should be submit our name, address and important information of the accident to the duty constable stationed at the casualty department.
(D) The owner or driver of the vehicle must report the accident to the nearest police station within 24 hours, and also to his insurance company in the occurrence of a road accident.
We also suggest two most important points that what we not do after an accident, Firstly never admit your fault. If you do, you may not get full compensation from your insurance company.
Secondly, don't flee the scene. This is not only illegal but also puts your insurance claim in threat.
