What to do After a Collision

Accidents are stressful, and the last thing you want to worry about is whether your car is getting fixed right. That’s why it’s essential to understand your insurance policy beforehand. Ensure it covers repairs using genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts. Mopar® collision parts are designed specifically for your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram, so you know your car is getting the quality it deserves.  Also, being prepared for the unexpected can make a big difference. Keep pre-printed accident report forms in your glovebox – a little planning can go a long way in a stressful situation.

The aftermath of an accident can be scary, but staying calm can make a big difference.  First and foremost, check yourself and your passengers for injuries. If anyone needs medical attention, call 911 immediately.  Once everyone is okay, get your vehicle to safety by turning on your hazard lights and pulling over if possible.  The next step is to contact the police to report the accident.  They’ll handle the official report and keep things moving smoothly.  If your car needs a tow, you can call Roadside Assistance at 1-800-521-2779 and let them know your preferred repair shop – that way, you can get your car where you want it.  While you wait, take some time to gather information.  Get the other driver’s details, including their name, address, license plate number, and insurance information.  If there are any witnesses around, grab their contact information as well.  Finally, document everything! Take pictures of the damage to your car and the accident scene. You can use a pre-printed accident form or take detailed notes – the important thing is to have a record of what happened.  By following these steps, you can stay safe and make the process after an accident easier.

After an accident, the last thing you want to worry about is whether the repairs will make your car as good as new. That’s why you should know your rights! You can always request Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts for your repairs. These parts are made by the same people who designed your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram in the first place, so you know they’ll fit perfectly and keep your car running at its best. Plus, avoiding aftermarket parts means you won’t have to deal with the risks of something not working right. Leases often require OEM parts, too, and for extra peace of mind, Mopar® offers Vehicle Protection Plans specifically for leased vehicles.
