Without reminding ourselves of bad memories, many of us can honestly say that we have, at some point, been involved in a car accident that caused major or minor financial expenses. For many victims, though, filing the car insurance accident claim afterwards was the real nightmare. The job of contacting claim adjusters and the loads of paperwork entailed by a claim have frequently proved to be a headache. Consequently, it is wise to learn about filing car insurance accident claims.

The first basic thing to understand is to get in touch with the car insurance company right away after an accident. In order to recognize what to do and speak about when you talk with someone, take care to scrutinize your car accident insurance policy when it first comes in the mail. This way, you have a basic idea of what you are due and what you can claim before an accident.

Once you make contact with the insurance carrier, they will probably request that you turn in a written statement with accident details and any supporting evidence. When you complete this written statement, present as many accident details as you remember, including comprehensive information regarding the cause in addition to a comprehensive list of applicable sustained injuries. If there are witnesses, confirm that you can contact them at a later date if your claims adjuster requests their statements. Most importantly, provide thorough details on any other car or individual that could have been involved in the accident.

Whenever possible (and when it does not cause undue trauma), photograph the accident in order to back your statement. Since this isn’t always practical, you should retain a file containing any/all documentary evidence regarding your claim. Document the time and date that you speak to your claims adjustor and/or agent and keep hold of all the bills or receipts received/collected.

Total honesty is a very important part of the claim submission process. Oddly enough, many car accident claims would have been covered if only the consumer had offered truthful information during the claim submission process. For this reason, it definitely pays to be completely truthful with the insurance carrier.

If you have purchased more than one car insurance policy, you can potentially turn in more than one claim from one accident. For this reason, review all of your policies to determine whether you can file more than one claim, so you can wind up with no out of pocket costs.
