Proper accident management is an essential part of running an efficient and compliant fleet. Even if you take every conceivable precautionary measure to manage risks to your vehicles, drivers and other road users, the fact is that accidents can and do happen.
It’s therefore very important to have a suitable accident management process in place to make sure that legal and insurance matters are dealt with correctly and that your fleet is back up and running as soon as possible.
Many fleets hire specialist accident management companies to handle post-accident procedures, while others settle for in-house accident management protocols. Whatever approach you take, it’s crucial to know the steps that should be taken in the event of an accident.
