What the checklist covers
Six things that often matter later, in the order they usually come up.
The police report
Whether a report was filed at the scene, and how to request a copy if you need one.
Photos and other records
What was captured at the scene, and what can still be photographed or written down now.
Driver and insurance details
What you were able to exchange with the other driver, and where to find the rest.
Medical care
Whether you have been seen by a clinician. Some symptoms appear days later, so this is worth revisiting.
Contact from an insurer
Whether you have spoken to the other driver's insurance company, and what that usually involves.
Any offer you've received
Whether an offer has been made or accepted, and what that generally means going forward.
What you'll see at the end
A plain summary of your own answers — not a case score, not a rating, and not a prediction of what a claim is worth.
Your checklist, straight away
