Assess Damage and Gather Information

Be sure to activate your hazards, turn off the vehicle, and move your vehicle away from the road if possible. You should call 911 if any vehicle occupants have injuries, if your vehicle is blocking the road, or in any scenario where emergency services may be required. Take plenty of photos and exchange insurance information.

If you were in a single-vehicle accident or hit-and-run event, there are no injuries that require medical attention, or your vehicle is driveable, move to a safe location and call the non-emergency line for the local police department.

Start Your Insurance Claim

After the accident scene has settled, you'll need to contact your insurance provider, submit details about what happened from your point of view, and schedule time for an assessment. Your insurance agent should offer some general information about the cost and timeframe required for repairs. Inoperable vehicles will need to be towed to a body shop to receive an in-depth damage assessment, where technicians will search for hidden damage.

Begin the Repair Process

When you're ready to begin the repair process and receive a quote, contact your preferred vehicle repair facility near Fargo, ND. Inoperable vehicles will need to be towed to a body shop for an in-depth inspection, where technicians will remove body panels to look for hidden damage. Once the assessment process is complete, we'll work directly with you or your insurance to pay for repairs and get you back on the road.
