Note down the registration numbers of all vehicles affected.
- Insurance Details:
Exchange insurance information with other drivers, including the name of their insurance company and their policy number.
- Witness Information:
If there are any witnesses, make sure to collect their names and contact numbers.
This information will help in verifying the details of the accident and processing your claim efficiently. Incomplete or incorrect information can lead to delays or complications.
