What happens if you get into a car accident in Singapore

Do you know? There is an estimate of 7690 road accidents involving injuries in Singapore yearly, this means that every day there are more than 20 serious road accidents happening around the island.

Let us share with you a quick guide on what you should do if you or your loved ones are involved in a road accident.

1. Refrain from moving your vehicles.
2. Take as many photos as you can of the damage incurred for both vehicles.
3. Ensure that you have exchanged personal contact details; we suggest giving the counter-party a miss-call to ensure the contact number is valid.
4. If the damages are light (small dent or just scratches), you can choose to privately settle the matter.
5. Feel free to check with OTUA on the potential repair cost, even if it's just a minor repair.
6. Otua Auto can also provide assistance should you decide to proceed with insurance claims. If the accident makes you think of "ways to sell my car", then Otua can help you answer the query of "best price for my car".
7. Not only do we handle the sales and purchase of cars as an online-based car dealership, we have a panel of professional workshops that handle insurance claims!
