Seven Steps to Filing Your Car Insurance Claim



Seven Steps to Filing Your Car Insurance Claim

Step 6: Do not release insurers too early

Do not relieve your insurance company of its responsibility until the damages are settled to your satisfaction.

For example, have your insurance company handle the claim if the other party's insurance company questions its policyholder's negligence or offers an unacceptable settlement.

Step 7: Consider these settlement factors

.

Bodily injuries: You may be entitled to a monetary settlement for injuries caused by another at fault (liable) party.

It can take several days for some injuries to become apparent.

.

Damages: The insurance company is responsible to pay for the reasonable cost of repairs to your vehicle.

An insurance adjuster will assess the damage.

Usually, insurance companies and auto body shops negotiate disagreements about what should be repaired.

If you disagree with their conclusions, you have the right to obtain another appraisal at any auto body shop.
