1. If there is little damage to the vehicles and no one is hurt, use your cell phone to take pictures of the damage to each car, a picture of the other driver, a picture of the vehicles where they are stopped and a picture of the other driver’s licence and insurance pink card. It would not hurt if you recorded the other driver saying that the accident was their fault.

2. Then, attend at one of the Ministry of Transportation, Collision Reporting Centres, the GTA addresses for which are at the bottom of this blog.

3. Notify your insurance company immediately and keep a record of the name of the person you notified and the time and date.

4. If you are injured, seek medical assistance quickly. Either cooperate with the paramedics if they suggest that you be taken to an emergency department or visit your family doctor as soon as possible.

5. If you are injured, make sure that your insurance company sends you the forms to open an accident benefits file in their office. At a minimum, you will be entitled to up to $3,500 for medical and rehabilitation benefits from your own insurance company. Up to $50,000 if you are more seriously injured and up to $2 million if you are catastrophically injured.
