In this short segment of the Wake Up Today program, host Alan Akina explains how drivers can protect themselves after a car accident by using the free WreckCheck mobile app created by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). He emphasizes the necessity of documenting every detail of an accident to support an insurance claim. The app leverages a phone’s GPS, audio recorder, and camera, and presents a checklist that guides users to capture essential information such as the other driver’s insurance details, police report numbers, and witness contacts. Once the data is entered, the app compiles it into a report that can be emailed directly to the user and their insurer, and also provides tips on filing and following up on a claim. The segment serves as a consumer‑education piece, encouraging viewers to download the app and be prepared for the unlikely event of a crash.

Well, it's something no one wants to be in, but accidents on the road do happen. Alan Akina shows you how to make sure you're covered if it happens to you.
Good morning, gang. Heaven forbid that you ever get into a car accident, but if you do, it's imperative that you document every detail to file a proper insurance claim. To help make things easy for you in this stressful time, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners has built a free iPhone and Android app called Wreck Check. This cool new app uses your phone's GPS GPS, audio recorder, and camera to document the accident. The app is set up in a checklist format which ensures that you will capture all of the necessary details like the other party's insurance info, police report numbers, and the witness information. Now, RecCheck will organize all of this into a nice report that you can email to yourself and your insurance provider right from your phone. Now, you even have access to valuable tips on how to file and follow up on a claim. For Wake Up Today, I'm Alan Akina. Be back next week with more tips.
Uh, big mahalo, Alan.
