That fender-bender turns into a “bigger bill” fast—especially when paperwork gets skipped.
If you’re in Maryland and you can safely do it, here’s what we recommend first:
• Check for injuries and move to safety if you can
• Exchange contact + insurance info
• Take photos of damage and vehicle plates
• Write down what happened while it’s fresh
• Report to police if there’s injury or major harm
Next, don’t guess on details. Documentation is what keeps the claim clean and prevents preventable premium headaches later.
