What to do in the event of an Accident
What are your first steps? Contact your agent or company immediately. Determine:
- Whether the damage is covered under the terms of your policy
- how long you have to file a claim
- whether your claim exceeds your deductible (the amount of loss you agree to pay before insurance kicks in)
- how long it will take to process the claim
- whether you’ll need estimates for repairs
