No one in Plover wants to think about getting in a car accident, but unfortunately, they can happen to even the safest drivers. Being prepared with a plan can help minimize stress if you do find yourself dealing with a collision. Here's the ultimate accident checklist to keep you ready:

First, check yourself and your passengers for injuries and call 911 if medical attention is needed. If able, move vehicles out of traffic. Call the police to file an accident report. While waiting, document vehicle damage, get contact and insurance info from the other driver, and gather witness statements. Contact your insurance company to start the claims process.

Keep an emergency kit in your car with a copy of your insurance, pen and paper, flashlight, and first-aid essentials. After an accident, bring your vehicle to a trusted Stevens Point dealership like Mark Toyota to get it repaired. Our new Toyota inventory has advanced safety features to help keep you protected on the road. Hopefully, you never need this checklist - but if you do, you'll be glad you had it!
