If the other driver refuses to share their insurance information after a car accident, follow these steps:
✔️ Stay Calm and Safe: Avoid confrontation and ensure your safety. If possible, move to a safe location.
✔️ Document the Scene: Take photos of the accident scene, vehicle damage, license plates, and any relevant surroundings. Note the make, model, and color of the other car.
✔️ Call the Police: Report the accident to law enforcement. They will create an official accident report, which will be helpful later, and they can help in obtaining the necessary information from the other driver.
✔️ Get Witness Information: If there are witnesses, collect their names and contact information. Their statements may help in case of disputes.
✔️ Contact Your Insurance Company: Report the accident to your insurance provider, even if the other driver refuses to cooperate. Provide all the information you have, and your insurer can assist with next steps.
✔️ Avoid Confrontation: If the other driver becomes hostile, do not escalate the situation. Focus on gathering the information you can and let law enforcement handle any disputes.
Police and your insurer may be able to assist in identifying the other driver’s insurance details if needed.
