Cadillac 2007 CTS User Manual download pdf (Page 498)

• Gather the important information you will

need from the other driver. Things like name,

address, phone number, driver’s license

number, vehicle license plate, vehicle make,

model and model year, Vehicle Identiﬁcation

Number (VIN), insurance company and

policy number, and a general description of

the damage to the other vehicle.

• If possible, call your insurance company from

the scene of the accident. They will walk you

through the information they will need. If

they ask for a police report, phone or go to

the police department headquarters the

next day and you can get a copy of the report

for a nominal fee. In some states/provinces

with “no fault” insurance laws, a report may not

be necessary. This is especially true if there

are no injuries and both vehicles are driveable.

• Choose a reputable collision repair facility for

your vehicle. Whether you select a GM dealer

or a private collision repair facility to ﬁx the

damage, make sure you are comfortable with

them. Remember, you will have to feel

comfortable with their work for a long time.

• Once you have an estimate, read it carefully

and make sure you understand what work will

be performed on your vehicle. If you have a

question, ask for an explanation. Reputable

shops welcome this opportunity.
