What do I do immediately after an accident?

If you’re involved in an accident, follow these steps:

  • Ensure safety: Check if anyone is injured and call emergency services if necessary. Prioritize safety by moving to a safe location, if possible.

  • Gather details: Exchange names, contact details, insurance information, and vehicle registration numbers with the other party. If there are witnesses, collect their contact information as well.

  • Document the scene: Take photos of the accident scene, vehicle damage, and any relevant surroundings. This documentation will help with your claim.

  • Report the accident: Notify Zego as soon as possible to begin your claims process. Provide all the details, including any photos or witness statements, to help us manage your claim.

  • Avoid admitting fault: Do not admit liability or blame at the scene. Let your insurer handle the investigation.

By following these steps, you'll ensure that everything is properly documented and reported to help with your claim.
