Car accidents can be overwhelming, but knowing what to do next can make the process smoother and less stressful. At Zombie Auto Works, we’re here to help you every step of the way—from the moment of impact to getting your car back on the road, good as new.

Follow this step-by-step guide to ensure your safety, protect your rights, and get the best collision repair service possible.

Before worrying about your vehicle, check yourself and others for injuries. If anyone is hurt, call 911 immediately. Even if the accident seems minor, it’s always best to have emergency services assess the situation.

If your vehicle is drivable and it’s safe to do so, move it to the side of the road to avoid further collisions. If it’s not drivable, turn on your hazard lights and stay inside your car if it’s safer than standing outside.

Even for minor accidents, having a police report can help with insurance claims and protect you from liability disputes. The police will document the accident, gather witness statements, and determine if any traffic laws were violated.

Gather the following details from all involved parties:

    •    Full Name & Contact Info

    •    Driver’s License Number

    •    Insurance Company & Policy Number

    •    Vehicle Make, Model & License Plate

    •    Accident Location & Time

Avoid admitting fault at the scene—just stick to the facts.

Use your smartphone to take clear photos and videos of:

✔ Vehicle damages (all angles)

✔ License plates

✔ Road conditions & traffic signs

✔ Any visible injuries

✔ Witnesses (if they agree)

This evidence can be crucial for insurance claims and legal matters.

Report the accident to your insurance provider as soon as possible. They’ll guide you through the claims process and let you know what’s covered under your policy.

Pro Tip: Avoid giving recorded statements to the other driver’s insurance company without consulting your own provider first.

Once you’ve reported the accident, bring your vehicle to Zombie Auto Works for professional collision repair. Here’s how our process works:
