What To Do After a Car Accident in Florida: A Step-By-Step Insurance Guide

Stay Calm and Follow These Steps After a Collision

Car accidents are stressful, but knowing what to do immediately after one can protect you legally and financially.

Step 1: Ensure Safety

Move vehicles out of traffic if possible. Check yourself and others for injuries—call 911 if anyone needs medical assistance.

Step 2: Exchange Information

Get the other driver’s name, contact, insurance details, driver’s license number, and license plate. Also gather contact info from any witnesses.

Step 3: Document the Scene

Take clear photos of the accident scene, vehicle damage, license plates, road conditions, and traffic signs.

Step 4: File a Police Report

Florida law requires reporting accidents involving injury, death, or property damage over $500. Request a copy for your records.

Step 5: Notify The Sena Group
