Car accidents make life complicated and dealing with it is not easy. No one can foresee what to do in such situations. A car accident can occur under various circumstances. Irrespective of the fact whether it is your mistake or other drivers, car accidents always bring discomfort. One must always be prepared to deal with such an unexpected accident and follow the guidelines issued by the RTA (Road Transport Authority) in the UAE.
A 5-step guide for all car drivers and owners in the UAE
What to do when you get involved in a car accident?
- Alert the authorities: For emergency accidents dial 999 and for non-emergency car accidents in UAE, you can call 901. You can also contact the authorities via the mobile app.
- Secure the vehicle to a safe location: When the car accident is minor, it is essential to move the car to a secured site and clear the traffic. You must also know that motorists who block the traffic face penalties. In case of serious accidents, the unhurt motorist must call the insurance company and arrange a towing service. Turn on the hazard light. (Note: If you see the other driver fleeing the scene take pictures of his/her car)
- Receive the Police report: The Police report is the most important document to establish your responsibility in the event of a car accident. Police will inspect the vehicle and issue green and red paper after analyzing the car accident. It is illegal to carry out any repair without a police report.
- Notify the Insurance company: Determine all the damages done carefully and inform the insurance provider.
- Contact an efficient Car Accident Lawyer: Car accidents are not easy to deal with when they are of serious nature. Other complications that resulted from the crash also cause a lot of physical and mental stress. It becomes all the more difficult to deal with insurance companies. A car accident lawyer in UAE can be your guide and negotiator in the whole situation.
