Accident

  • Here's what to do if you've been in an auto accident:

  • Get the names, addresses, phone numbers and driver’s license numbers of all parties involved in the accident, regardless of who is at fault for the accident and how minor the accident is;
  • Have a look at the insurance of each of the motor vehicles involved in the accident so as to get the names of the registered owner and the insurance details;
  • Look at the other parties’ driver’s license to avoid being given false information;
  • Write down the plate numbers, including Province, of all the vehicles involved in the accident by looking at the license plates and registration;
  • If a motor vehicle involved in the accident is registered outside British Columbia make sure you get the name of the insurance company;
  • Find out the names and contact information of any witnesses;
  • Take some pictures of the vehicles and their resting positions; and
  • Take some notes about how the accident happened and draw a sketch of the accident scene.
