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.
