Automobile accidents can be scary enough without the additional stress of negotiating with an insurance company. This process can be made even more difficult without a thorough knowledge of automobiles. Here at New Vision Collision, we understand this, which is why we handle the insurance claim process for you. Whether you intend to deal with the insurance company yourself or would prefer for us to, here are a few steps that will make your claim process easier.
1. Photograph Everything
You’ll want to take as many photos as possible at the scene of the accident. Document the damage to your car and the other car. Record any involved property, including fences, mailboxes, or signs. Thoroughly document any injuries daily, ensuring that you also capture the recovery process. You can never have too much information when processing an auto insurance claim.
2. Call the Police
Whether the accident is your fault or not, you should always call the police. The police will then file a report that can be vital in solving insurance disputes. Make sure to obtain a copy of their official report, so that you can prove fault to the insurance company.
3. Report the Accident
You should report the accident to your insurance, regardless of who was at fault. Even if you intend to go through the other party’s insurance, you must still alert your insurance company about the accident.
