What Should You Do After a Rear End Collision? 

A rear end collision can happen in an instant, leaving you feeling shaken and unsure of what to do next. Our team at AMGO Gulf LLC is here to guide you through the process and help you feel prepared if the unexpected occurs.

Immediate Steps to Take After a Rear End Collision

Your safety and the safety of others should always come first. Here’s what we recommend if you’re involved in a rear end collision in Texas:

• Check for injuries. Assess yourself and your passengers for injuries. If anyone is hurt, call 911 right away for medical assistance.
• Move to a safe location. If the vehicles are drivable and it’s safe to do so, move them to the side of the road to avoid blocking traffic and reduce the risk of further accidents.
• Call the police. It’s important to report accidents that result in injury, death or significant property damage. A police report can also be valuable for your insurance claim.
• Exchange information. Collect the other driver’s name, contact details, insurance information and vehicle details. Be polite but avoid discussing fault at the scene.
• Document the scene. Take clear photos of all vehicles, license plates, the accident location and any visible damages. If there are witnesses, ask for their contact information.
• Notify your insurance carrier. Contact your insurance carrier as soon as possible to report the accident. Share all the details and documentation you’ve gathered.
