California’s PTL Insurance Brokers, Inc. Provides Local Drivers with Advice on How to Overcome an Auto Accident
Covina, California (PRWEB) August 11, 2011
PTL Insurance Brokers, Inc., a locally based independent California insurance agency, continuously strives to enhance the service they provide to the surrounding community.
If there is one thing California insurance agents and the CA Dept of Insurance know better than anyone else, it is traffic. With a land mass that spans roughly 840 miles long and boasts some 37 million residents, it’s no wonder roadway congestion is a common occurrence. Add to that, the 5-lane highways, systems of expressways and winding coastal roads are the perfect catalyst for auto accidents.
In PTL Insurance Brokers, Inc.’s best effort to effectively serve their local California drivers, the agency compiled a checklist, aimed at helping residents decipher what they need to do in the event of an auto accident:
1. Stay calm. Although adrenaline may be pumping or the initial shock has yet to sink in, it’s important that all drivers resist the urge to panic. Panic can only make the situation worse and in order to determine the extent of damage or any injuries, a calm, collected person will be needed at the accident site.
2. Call the police. Even in a minor fender-bender, drivers must make sure that a legal accident report is filed. Do not leave the scene of an accident until the police file a full report.
3. Acquire all the necessary facts. One of the most important things a driver needs, after an accident, is to get all of the names, addresses and phone numbers of those involved. A description of each vehicle involved as well as the license plate numbers can also prove useful.
4. Contact your California insurance agent. Call your insurance agency immediately after all of the filing and reporting is complete; even while you are still at the scene with the police present if possible – that way the most accurate information is relayed to your agent.
5. Secure California auto insurance before hitting the road. Standard auto policies offer bodily injury liability, property damage liability, medical or personal injury protection as well as options for collision coverage, comprehensive and even uninsured motorist coverage – all necessary protections a driver will be thankful they have if they are involved in an accident.
For years California has been at the top of the heap in regards to traffic fatalities, making it the state with the most auto accidents nationwide. Rather than leave it up to chance, drivers should consider the risks involved when one operates a vehicle without insurance. Securing a dependable, affordable California car insurance policy doesn’t have to be difficult; for more information contact PTL Insurance Brokers, Inc. today.
