Our daily commutes represent perhaps our most embedded routine. Drive to work, drive from work. Every day. Over and over again. So when something disrupts that routine, it&#8217;s easy to get flustered. A car accident is nothing but pure agony for commuters. Not only does it mean the potential for serious injury, it also means the pain of dealing with the fallout. Whose fault was it? How bad is the damage? Who do we have to contact? Thankfully, there&#8217;s a new BlackBerry application that helps out with these unexpected occurrences. <\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bbgeeks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/helpicrashedmycar.jpg\" style=\"margin-left:10px; margin-top:6px;\" align=\"right\" \/>Help I Crashed My Car provides you with the information and services you need to deal with your wreck in a timely and efficient manner. People will do anything to avoid calling the police or, worse, insurance companies, especially if it&#8217;s their fault. Help I Crashed My Car contains detailed information on exactly what to do if you&#8217;re in a wreck. Without reading through their information, Rule No. 1 is to not buy anything the other person says. Deal with it the proper way.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, the application makes that easy. All you have to do is click one button to send notification to up to three family members, your insurance company, and a pre-specified body shop. Once there&#8217;s some record of your wreck, you can use the GPS function in the application to contact the appropriate police department and, if needed, towing company and rental car outlet. Help I Crashed My Car advertises the ability to call for ambulance services, but if you think you need an ambulance before an officer arrives, it&#8217;s probably best to dial 911. <\/p>\n<p>Because you&#8217;ll want pictures of the accident scene, the application provides an interface to do that. You can also fill out an accident report, which you can then send along to your insurer to supplement the official police report. Finally, the app lists various body shops, allowing customers to rate them.<\/p>\n<p>This is the type of application I love to feature on the site. It&#8217;s practical and useful, and best of all it&#8217;s free. You can <a href=\"http:\/\/appworld.blackberry.com\/webstore\/content\/4025\">get Help I Crashed My Car<\/a> at App World. It supports just about every BlackBerry model from the Pearl up. <\/p>\n<p>With a very gracious hat tip to <a href=\"http:\/\/crackberry.com\/help-i-crashed-my-car-safety-application-those-car-accidents\">Bla1ze<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This post originated at BBGeeks.com &#8211; home to all things <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbgeeks.com\">Blackberry<\/a>!
