The claim process is pretty straight forward. The driver files a claim and the insurance provider will send out a claim adjuster to inspect the damages. After the assessment it made, the claim is processed and payment made to cover the expenses.

Even though the claim process is a simple one, there are some things that can be done to help it move along as smooth as possible. Have prepared for your insurance company your story, the story of the other individuals involved in the accident, information about the damages, the police report, and the accounts given by any eyewitnesses.

Following an accident the first thing that you should do is see if there is anyone in need of immediate medical attention. Call emergency services such as 911 if needed. While waiting provide any medical assistance that you are qualified to do so.

You should make sure and get the personal information from the other driver involved in the accident. You will need their name, phone number, license plate number and insurance information. Most of these details can be found on their insurance card.
