1. Pull over and call 911. This is important even if the damage seems minor. The police will need to create an accident report, which will help you when filing your insurance claim.
2. Get the contact information of the emergency vehicle driver. This includes the driver's name, phone number, and agency affiliation.
3. Take photos of the damage to your car. Be sure to get photos from all angles, including close-ups of any major damage.
4. Get written estimates for the repairs to your car. You can get estimates from multiple body shops to compare prices.
5. File a claim with your insurance company. You will need to provide the insurance company with the accident report, photos of the damage, and written estimates for the repairs.
6. Follow up with the insurance company to make sure your claim is being processed correctly. You should also keep in touch with the body shop to make sure the repairs are being done properly.
Additional Tips:
* If the emergency vehicle driver is not cooperative, you can file a complaint with the agency that the driver works for.
* You may be able to sue the emergency vehicle driver for damages if you believe that the driver was negligent.
* Do not sign any documents from the emergency vehicle driver or the driver's insurance company without first talking to your own insurance company.
