How to handle an accident

Driving in traffic every day can be stressful especially if its bumper-to-bumper. That's why Mercedes-Benz of Plano suggests you use all the safety features on your vehicle and know what to do in case of an accident.

Unfortunately, even the best driver can have an accident; which can ruin a perfectly good day. If this should happen to you the best thing is to remain calm, turn off your engine, put on your hazard lights and get ready to collect information. Check that everyone is okay, if not, call for medical assistance.

Call police and for your own protection, make out a accident report and get a copy. Make sure you have:

• Names of all persons involved in the accident
• Home addresses and phone numbers and
• Driver license numbers, insurance and vehicle information.
