Car Accidents and Personal Injury Cases in Virginia
When Do I Contact My Own Insurance Company After an Accident?
It’s bad enough that you’ve been in a car wreck and that you have to handle your Virginia personal injury claim. It’s plain and simple: there’s just nothing fun about it! You’ve probably read or heard how the insurance adjuster will act like your friend and try to destroy your claim, or nickel and dime you. You need to have your guard up with your insurance company, but you really need to contact them right away!
Most think, “When should I contact my insurance company?” Fortunately you don’t have much to worry about initially with the insurance company! In fact, I strongly suggest you get in touch with them right away regarding your Virginia personal injury accident you’ve had. Even if the car accident isn’t your fault, you may have some great parts to your policy which cover things such as towing expenses, rental of a car, or even medical payments. This means you can get these benefits quicker than waiting for the other guy in your accident.
Another key piece to this puzzle is that you could be saving yourself from someone that isn’t covered at all. If your own insurance policy covers uninsured or underinsured motorists coverage and the other driver that caused the accident has no insurance, then you’re in luck. You won’t be stiffed with the bill when the other guy is liable but can’t pay up, which happens a lot more than it should in the insurance industry!
So now that you’re in a bit of a sticky situation and probably have other questions besides when to contact your own insurance company, you may still need help. The best thing to do would be to grab our free resource with great information that will answer all of your questions regarding your personal injury case.
