How do I file an Auto Insurance claim?
Answer:
Filing auto insurance claims is fairly straightforward.


First, no matter who you believe is at fault, or how minor the damage appears to be, contact your insurance agent or claims department right away. You’ll want to find out if the loss is covered and if so how to proceed. Your agent will either take the information over the phone or provide you with the forms to fill out.

Along with filling out a claim form, you should provide a copy of the police report if the police were called to investigate. Document everything related to the claim by taking notes, writing down who you spoke with, what you talked about, and when. Keep copies of all bills related to the claim.

Find out if there are any time limits for filing your auto claim, submitting bills, or submitting additional information. An insurance adjuster will likely examine your vehicle and you may or not need to provide the insurance carrier with estimates.

All states regulate the claims process and these processes do vary depending on which state you live in. Check with your state’s Department of Insurance if you have concerns.
