What to Do After an Accident in Your Porsche:
A Guide for Los Angeles Drivers
Even the most careful Porsche driver can find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time.
One moment you’re ripping up the canyon in your 911, Macan, or Cayenne, and the next you’re dealing with the crunch of metal and a sinking feeling in your stomach. Accidents happen, but knowing what steps to take after a collision makes all the difference in protecting your Porsche, your health, and your financial interests.
Step One: Stay Calm and Stay Safe
The priority after any accident is safety.
Move your car to a safe location if possible, check for injuries, and call 911 if needed. Even in minor fender-benders, take a breath before you do anything else.
Step Two: Document the Scene
Use your phone to take photos of the vehicles, license plates, and the surrounding area.
Exchange insurance information with the other driver and get witness contact info if available. The more details you gather now, the easier things will be later.
Step Three: Contact a Trusted Collision Repair Partner
Your Porsche is engineered with advanced materials, precision tolerances, and complex electronics that demand factory-level repair expertise.
This isn’t the time for a discount body shop on the corner. That’s why HOUSE Automotive has partnered with Castle Body Shop, one of Los Angeles’ premier Porsche vehicle collision centers, with the experience, equipment, and OEM knowledge to restore your Porsche to pre-accident condition.
From structural repair to paint correction, Castle’s craftsmanship ensures your car looks and drives the way Stuttgart intended.
Step Four: Protect Yourself Legally
Even a “minor” accident can get complicated fast when insurance adjusters, medical bills, or liability disputes enter the picture.
That’s why we recommend speaking with Shirvanian Law Firm, an experienced Los Angeles firm specializing in auto accidents and personal injury cases. Their team can help you understand your rights, deal with insurance companies, and pursue fair compensation if you’ve been injured.
