So, you've had an accident and it wasn't your fault.

What you might not know is that if you do have an accident that wasn't your fault it is the person who caused the accident and their insurance company who are obliged to take the lead and be responsible for your repairs and keeping you mobile.

Here at Brightside we have chosen claims specialists Carpenters Insurance Services Limited to help you navigate your way around the steps you will need to take.

If you are calling about Home or SME insurance, please contact your insurer.

What to do after an accident

1. Get medical help straightaway if this is required.

2. Call the police - make sure they have all the details and ask for a copy of the police report.

3. Take photographs - of your injuries, the scene, and the damage to all vehicles involved.

4. Get the contact details of any witnesses to the accident and ask them if they are happy to be a witness if it was to go to court.
