People face different expenses for medical care and vehicle repairs after car accidents. Resources can run low quickly if someone must stay home from work to recover. As a result, auto insurance companies have a claim process for injured people to receive payment.
To file a claim, you first call an insurance agent to report the incident. You must mention the vehicles involved and who drove at the time. Then, give a description of the accident and the severity of the damage.
You will receive a claim number and wait for the assigned adjuster to evaluate your case. The adjuster may contact you in the meantime for additional information. They may request a police report, which you can get a copy of at a local police station.
