What To Do After a Car Accident in Davie

A car accident rattles you, even a small one. The first few minutes matter, and so do the days after. Here's how to keep a stressful situation from getting worse.

At the scene

Check that everyone is okay and get out of traffic if the cars are drivable. Call the police so there's a report — it helps later with the claim. Trade insurance and contact info with the other driver, and take photos of everything: both cars, the damage, the plates, and the spot where it happened.

Don't judge the damage by eye

A car that looks "fine" after a hit can have damage you can't see — a bent frame rail, a cracked bumper reinforcement, or a sensor knocked out of place. That's why a proper inspection matters before you decide it's nothing.

You pick the shop, not the insurance company

This is the part a lot of drivers don't know: it's your right to choose where your car gets repaired. The insurance company can suggest a shop, but the decision is yours. A family-owned body shop will document the damage, write a real estimate, and deal with the adjuster so you're not stuck in the middle.
