Auto Accident Tips for Lafayette Indiana Drivers
Tip #1 If You’re In A Car Accident - Call the Police
Call the police. Indiana Law provides that you must stop and remain at the scene of an accident until the authorities are notified. The only exception to this is very minor property damage when, then, you must make every effort to contact the owner of the damaged property. When the authorities arrive give factual information, but do not admit fault or blame.

Take action to prevent additional collisions. Frequently, additional collisions occur when vehicles run into motorists stranded in the roadway. Use whatever methods you can, including flares or hand signals to alert oncoming traffic.
