What to do after a car accident in Stamford, CT
A short checklist for the first hour after a collision on Stamford roads, from the scene to the body shop.
A crash on I-95 or the Post Road leaves most people shaken and unsure what to do next. The steps you take in the first hour matter for your insurance claim and for getting your car fixed right.
At the scene
Pull out of traffic if the car still drives. Turn on the hazards and check that no one is hurt. Call Stamford Police at the non-emergency line for a report if there is any damage beyond a scuff. A police report makes the insurance claim far easier.
Snap photos of every panel on both cars, the road, the signs, and the plates. Get the other driver's name, phone, and insurance card. Do not admit fault. Just exchange information.
Call your insurance
Open the claim from the side of the road if you can. Tell them you want the car inspected at Mandi Auto Body on Magee Ave. As an Allstate-approved claims location, we handle the paperwork and the adjuster visit on site.
Get the car to the shop
