Archive note: This post is adapted from an older Planner Fun entry. I’m bringing it back because it’s still one of those “why didn’t I think of that?” ideas.
After my own little fender bender back then, I had the thought: I should make a car accident checklist. I started researching what information a list like that should include—insurance details, what to write down, what to photograph, the basics you don’t want to forget when you’re shaken up.
1) The “Don’t Reinvent the Wheel” Moment
While I was looking around, I found a checklist (shown in the graphic) that was exactly what I wanted. Clear, practical, and complete.
And honestly—why make a brand-new one when someone already created one that includes everything you need?
2) Where to Get the Checklist
You can download this checklist from GJEL’s Car Accident Attorneys here: Download the Car Accident Checklist
If you keep a planner or a “just in case” binder, this is one of those pages that’s worth printing and tucking in. Hopefully you’ll never need it… but if you do, you’ll be glad it’s there.
Archive takeaway: In a stressful moment, a checklist beats a good memory every time.
Your turn
Do you keep any “just in case” checklists in your planner—car stuff, travel, medical, home repairs?
