Q: What should I do if I have an accident?

A: In the event of an accident, it's important that you don't leave the scene of the accident until you're absolutely sure you have all the information you need to file an insurance claim. The most commonly exchanged information between all the drivers involved is the license numbers, vehicle registrations, and insurance numbers of all the parties. You'll also need to call 911 to make sure that police can document a report or provide emergency help, if needed. If you aren't sure about anything, make sure to call the police, because it's better to be safe than sorry!

Q: How do I get a copy of an accident report?

A: If you file for an insurance claim, they will probably ask you for a copy of the Police Accident Report. If you need to obtain this for your claim or for personal use, contact the office of the responding police department and ask for a copy.

Q: Will Graff Mt. Pleasant contact my insurance company, or should I do it myself?

A: It is highly recommended that you contact your insurance company yourself. However, if you would prefer that we contact them, or that we contact them together with you, we would be happy to help. Our Service Staff is more than willing to help you navigate this stressful process.
