What to Do After a Commercial Motor Accident

A calm, consistent response protects people first and helps preserve evidence.

Make the Commercial Motor Accident Scene Safe

Contact emergency services where required and do not put anyone at further risk.

Capture accurate information

Record vehicles, drivers, witnesses, location, road conditions and photographs. Preserve dashcam or telematics data.

Report the Commercial Motor Accident Promptly

Follow the insurer or claims-handling procedure without waiting for a third-party demand.

Review the Cause and Prevent a Repeat Incident

Use the incident to identify training, route, fatigue, maintenance or management improvements.
