Car Accidents: What's the Protocol?
Apologies if this has been brought up before, but I was curious about what are the basic do's and don'ts when you get/are involved in a car accident.
Having never been in one (knock on wood) before, I'm a little uneducated in the subject.
Obviously ensuring that the other driver is unhurt is a big #1. But aside from that...
Should you ever accept fault for the accident prior to the police arriving?
What if you hit a parked car in a parking lot and leave damage? Is a note sufficient, or are you supposed to wait for the driver (and not be charged with hit and run)?
Where do they typically tow your car to if you get in an accident?
Those who have been involved, are there things you'd recommend doing, avoid mentioning after an accident?
