Question

Is there a set of instructions in case of road accidents due to human negligence?

Community Answer

You can find lots of articles online that will detail what you can and should do after a road accident, but the best thing to do is call the police. They will come to the scene and walk you through everything you need to do after the accident.

Question

Do I contact my insurance company even though it was the other driver's fault and they have admitted liability?

Community Answer

Yes, it's a good idea to have everything fully documented. The person could always go back on their word so better to be safe than sorry.

Question

Who do I call for a camera review of a car accident?

Community Answer

It depends. If you can see a camera at the site of the accident, then you will need to find out who it belongs to. I would recommend finding out who owns the property where the camera is placed and asking them if they have access to the video footage. If you don't see a camera, you could go to the businesses near the accident and ask if any of them have security cameras set up that might have captured the accident.
