Car accidents can be very tricky, not to mention traumatic and expensive, so making sure you know what to do and what to prepare before filing that claim with your auto insurance carrier can save you lots of unnecessary troubles and frustration. Here are a few things one should remember when involved in a car accident as well as when dealing with an auto insurance carrier:
1. File a Police Report – You will need that police report for insurance purposes. As soon as you get involved in a car crash call 911 if there is anyone injured or otherwise needing emergency treatment first. Call the Police soon afterwards.
2. Exchange Contact Information – You would most likely have an Insurance Identification Card that has all the important information needed to facilitate claims and payments between the parties involved in the car accident, and their respective insurance companies. Also get license plate numbers and phone numbers.
3. Contact your Insurance provider immediately – Do not delay informing your insurance provider about the accident or you might not get the compensation you deserve.
4. Get ready to answer questions – You may be getting a follow up call from the other party’s car insurance representative (and with yours as well). Answer truthfully and accurately since this will be used legally as well. Make sure you take note of the name of the representative you spoke with and take note of what was discussed.
