If you’ve been involved in an auto accident, you’ll need to contact your insurance company immediately. Many insurance policies require that you get in touch with them within a certain time frame following your accident. Not doing so could result in financial losses you are entitled to.
After you’ve contacted your auto insurance company, you’ll need to provide them with several pieces of information to pursue a claim:
Name, driver’s license number, insurance policy number, and contact information of the other driver.
License plate numbers of all vehicles involved in the accident
Pictures, witness statements, or other documentation related to the accident
Pictures of any visible injuries you and your passengers sustained
Other official documents, including a police report
