Is Your Caravan Damaged in a Road Accident? This is What You Need To Do
Accidents can have a toll on the victims and it becomes difficult for the victim to think rationally. In fact, they are injured or quite shaken up and they are not able to focus on what needs to be done. Most accidents are not fatal. In fact, the majority of accidents involve a few dents and broken sections. For serious accidents, you need to make sure that everything is safe and check on the fellow travelers. You wouldn’t want casualties to get worse.
Here is what you need to do if your caravan meets with a road accident.
Don’t Panic
The first thing that you need to do is to stop panicking. It will only make matters worse. The event will obviously leave you shaken up, but now is not the time to let it affect you. Get a grip on yourself, take a few deep breaths and get yourself ready to handle the situation.
Check For Casualties
When you have calmed yourself, check for casualties. Don’t limit yourself to only those who are traveling with you. Check the entire site for all possible casualties. If anyone needs immediate medical attention, then alert the authorities.
Cooperate with the Police
Cops will arrive at the accident site soon. Don’t create a problem for them. Cooperate with them and let them assist you in getting over the situation without causing further problem for others. The road needs to be cleared or taped off to prevent further accidents. Injured people will need medical care. The police will be able to help you with all of this as long as you cooperate with them.
Check for Damages to the Caravan
Before leaving the accident site, check the caravan for damages. It is possible that the damages are not serious, but leaving them unattended could make the situation worse. For major damages, get the vehicle towed to a service station so that repair work may be started soon. Consult with the authorities to know whether the vehicle is cleared to be taken to the garage. If not, then complete the formalities as soon as possible.
Check the Health of Your Caravan Awning and Other Accessories
Although it is important to check the caravan, you should not miss the awning and other accessories. There is a good chance that not much damage has been incurred on them. If required, you can always call in your friends or family members to disassemble the accessories and keep them safely. If extensive damage has been inflicted, then you will have to change the accessories. Caravan awnings are prepared for a custom fit so make sure that you ascertain its condition before letting it go to waste.
Notify the Insurance Company to Claim Benefits
Don’t forget to notify the insurance company with supportive documents and evidence to claim the insurance amount. The least benefit that you should get is financial assistance that will be taken care of by the insurance company. If you don’t have a caravan insurance, then make sure you get it as soon as possible. Also, check for insurance covers that include accessories such as caravan awnings and annexes. Not all companies will provide cover for these accessories. But you might be able to find an insurance cover that takes care of that.
