What to Do After an Accident
Move to a safe location when possible and call emergency services if anyone needs medical care. Exchange contact and insurance information with the other driver. Take photographs of the vehicles, roadway, license plates, and surrounding conditions.
Do not continue driving if the vehicle leaks fluid, displays serious warning lights, has damaged tires, or has steering and braking problems. Arrange towing when driving could create additional risk or damage.
Parts and Repair Quality
Correct parts help support proper fit, appearance, and vehicle operation. Genuine Ford parts follow Ford specifications for compatible vehicles. Parts requirements vary by repair, and some components may require programming or calibration after installation.
Modern vehicles can place cameras, radar sensors, parking sensors, and lighting equipment near common impact areas. Replacing a bumper or windshield may require additional diagnostic checks. Ask for an explanation of the required parts, procedures, and warranty coverage before approving repairs.
Insurance and Collision Estimates
Your insurance company may request photographs, an estimate, or an inspection before authorizing work. Review your policy deductible, rental coverage, and repair procedures. You generally have the right to ask questions about the parts and repair methods included in an estimate.
Keep copies of estimates, photographs, insurance documents, invoices, and repair records. These materials can help document the vehicle's condition and completed work.
