Know Your Rights Before Talking to an Insurance Claims Agent
- Preservation of Evidence is Key in All Auto Accident Cases
- What To Do If You Have Been In An Accident
- Take pictures of the scene and all the vehicles involved in the accident AND your injuries.
- Call the police and stay at the scene so you can properly complete a police report. While you're waiting get the other person's name, number, license plate number, car make and model and insurance information.
- Get to a doctor to be checked for your injuries within 14 days of the accident or your claim may be jeopardized.
- Call your own insurance company to report the claim and obtain a claim number.
- Do not give any recorded statements to any insurance companies, including your own, UNTIL YOU GIVE US A CALL FIRST.
