With the number of vehicles clogging the roads have to be mentally prepared to file a claim for auto insurance, sooner or later - it's just a matter of time before you can apply for one.
In most car insurance claims, personal injury, never the problem. Although personal injury claims do not require much of the evidence, is damage to the vehicle you need more proof. Although insurance regulations vary from state to state the basic steps required to file a claim is similar.
In the case of an accident, you make a demand and control comes and makes an estimate of the cost or the cost of repair. You will receive a check from the insurance company for that particular amount that you can use to pay for the repairs.
All insurance companies require proof of harm or proof of damage before they agree to pay. There are five pieces of evidence that it is very essential when making a car insurance claim such as:
A police report
Eyewitness accounts and physical damage at the crash site
What do you say to your insurance
What tells the other hand, insurers
Things to do immediately after the accident:
If a serious injury call 911, but if the injury is not serious for some call health care and call the police directly, and you need the police report.
Get all the contact information, insurance information, license plate numbers, etc. The insurance identification card shall contain all relevant information. Get the phone numbers of the opposing party.
Gather evidence in the form of witnesses who would be willing to say what they really saw. If you can not get this information soon have a police report should be used as a backup source.
Call the insurance company immediately.
If the other party is at fault, you must pursue the claim through his company, but you can apply for reimbursement of other expenses that your insurance will not pay.
You may need to give their version of the accident to the insurer of the party.
The adjuster will come and make an estimate of costs (repair costs) after inspection of the vehicle.
You can use arbitration if they feel that the estimate to cover repairs is too low. If conflicts are not resolved, then you have to take legal action.
