If you're not at fault for the accident, you have two options to get compensation for property damage to your vehicle. First, you can contact the at-fault person’s insurance provider, and they will pay for any damage to your vehicle once they determine their insured party caused the accident. Second, if you have collision coverage, you can file a claim with your insurance company, and they will pay for any damage to your vehicle minus any applicable deductibles. If you are at fault for the accident, you can’t collect money or compensation for your injuries. However, you should still be entitled to most of the benefits already discussed above.
