If you’ve been involved in a car accident in Boston, knowing what to do next can make a major difference in how smoothly the process goes. From protecting your safety to protecting your vehicle repair, the steps you take early on matter.

Before you call your insurance company, call Moreno Auto Collision. We help guide Boston drivers through the process from the very beginning so costly mistakes can be avoided.

After a car accident in Boston:
– Make sure everyone is safe
– Document the crash
– Call Moreno Auto Collision before calling your insurance
– Follow the repair guidance

Step 1: Make Sure Everyone Is Safe

Your safety comes first. After an accident:

  • Check yourself and others for injuries

  • Move to a safe location if possible

  • Call emergency services if anyone is hurt

Do not leave the scene until it is safe and appropriate to do so.


Step 2: Document the Accident

Proper documentation helps protect you later.

  • Take photos of vehicle damage

  • Photograph license plates and the accident scene

  • Exchange information with the other driver

  • If police are present, request a report number

These details can help avoid delays or disputes during the repair process.


Step 3: Know Your Rights as a Driver in Boston

Many drivers don’t realize this:

You have the legal right to choose your own repair shop.

Insurance companies may recommend a shop, but they cannot require you to use it. Choosing a trusted local repair shop ensures your vehicle is repaired properly — not rushed or under-repaired.


Step 4: Before Calling Your Insurance, Call Moreno Auto Collision

This step is critical.

Before contacting your insurance company, call Moreno Auto Collision. We help Boston drivers understand:

  • What information to share

  • What questions to ask

  • What to avoid saying too early

This guidance can prevent unnecessary complications and help protect the quality of your repair.


Step 5: Understanding the Repair Process

Once your vehicle is brought in, the repair process typically includes:

  • Damage assessment

  • Insurance coordination (if applicable)

  • Ordering necessary parts

  • Professional repair and refinishing

At Moreno Auto Collision, we keep you informed at every stage so there are no surprises.


Step 6: Rental Cars and Transportation

If your insurance policy includes rental coverage, we can help coordinate a replacement vehicle while your car is being repaired. This allows you to continue your routine without disruption.
