Had a car accident? Step-by-step what to do

    Practical steps after a car accident: secure the scene, document damage, estimate the cost, and deal with insurance.

    Secure the scene first

    Turn on hazard lights, move off the road if possible, and check on passengers. Call an ambulance immediately if anyone is injured.

    Document the damage with photos

    Photograph all damage from several angles, the other car if involved, and the scene. These help with insurance and repair estimates.

    Estimate the repair cost

    Upload the photos to G-Fast for an instant estimate of denting, painting and parts costs, so you visit the workshop already knowing the price.

    Handle the insurance

    If the car is insured, G-Fast connects you to centers that work with insurance companies and simplify the repair process.
