Frequently asked questions
›What is a glovebox accident card?
A small printed card kept in your car with the steps to follow after a crash and the details you'll need: insurer, policy number, claims phone and emergency contacts.
›Why print it instead of using my phone?
Phones get damaged, lose battery or can't be unlocked by passengers or first responders. A card works every time.
›What state information is on the card?
Whether your state is at-fault or no-fault, and the general deadline to file an injury lawsuit, taken from our state law data.
›Is my information saved?
No. The card is generated in your browser for printing; nothing is stored or sent.
›What size does it print?
Each side is about the size of a credit card (3.37 × 2.125 in). Print, cut along the dashed lines and fold or laminate.
