Car Accident Documentation Kit
When you buy a car, you often buy jumper cables, a first aid kit, flashlight, and other car accessories for the “just in case I need it” event. There is one more event that you can make a purchase for: a car accident. We visited our local Walmart store and found the American Red Cross branded Accident Documentation Kit. The price for this car accident kit was a low $7.96. The American Red Cross car accident documentation kit includes:
- Accident Documentation Kit Case
- Tape Measure
- Small Flashlight
- Disposable Camera
- Accident Report Form
- Pen
- 2 AAA Batteries
You could make your own car accident documentation kit, however, the price of this and competing kits are low. The kit is small enough in size to fit in a glove box or under a seat. The included pieces such as a disposable camera are cheap enough that you don’t need to worry about leaving them in your car over night, as would be the case for a digital camera or phone camera.
Be prepared. Purchase a car accident documentation kit.

It’s never a good excuse to save money by driving without car insurance, but what happens if you are involved in a car accident and you are uninsured? Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles says that you should attempt to purchase a full liability insurance policy as soon as possible. Doing so might get you some assistance from your new insurance company.
Of course you will need to advise the car insurance company that you were involved in a car accident without the proper insurance coverage. In the state of Florida, driving without car insurance can lead to getting your driver’s license suspended.
Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) suggests that you try to negotiate with the other driver involved or their insurance company to settle any damages. If you are unable to pay for such damages, try to negotiate a monthly payment agreement. Document the agreement (put it in writing) to legitimize it and keep proof of payments in your household files. Paying by check, for example, is a great method of proving payments.
Remember, that if the car insurance company compensates the other person for their damages, the insurance company will in turn seek satisfaction of damages from you. If injuries are involved, contact an Florida attorney that specializes in car accidents to better understand your rights. Many attorneys offer a free initial consultation.

Florida residents and tourists driving in Florida this winter might benefit from these quick no fault car accident reminders. If you are involved in a car accident in Florida, remember these 10 points:
- Florida law requires you to stop if you are involved in a car accident. Driving away will only make matters worse.
- Check yourself , others around you, and any other cars involved for injuries. Call Emergency Medical Services 911 if necessary.
- Cars with minor damage need not block the roadways. If the cars are safe to move, do so. Take a few quick pictures if a digital camera or cell phone camera is available. Your pictures should capture the position of the cars on the roadway.
- Call the police. Florida Highway Patrol can be reached using your cell phone if you dial *FHP or *347.
- It’s generally a good idea to not discuss the accident with others. Instead, discuss the accident with the police if necessary.
- Seek immediate medical attention if you are injured, or think you might have been injured.
- Notify your insurance company to report the accident. Your insurance company will explain what you will need to do next.
- You will need a copy of the police report. Ask the police man or woman for their name and badge number to make finding them later easy.
- Contact an attorney that specializes in Florida car accidents. This is not necessarily the last step. You will generally want to contact an attorney prior to giving any recorded or written statements and to learning your rights and responsibilities.
- Complete your Auto Accident Report Form as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the less likely you are to remember important facts about the car accident. Contact your insurance company to obtain an auto accident report form.

o eliminate the possibility of suspension, you should purchase a full liability insurance policy (includes bodily injury liability) as soon as possible and advise the company that you were involved in an uninsured crash and may need a Form SR-22 (certification of liability insurance) in the future.
