IN. police report vs. collision report

If the police arrive at the scene of the collision, they will usually prepare a police report, even if you do not request one. The officer will give you a case number; you will then use the case number to get the report. If the police do not respond to your collision, you must prepare and file a “collision report.”

b. Damage to your vehicle

Fixing your car is probably one of your top priorities. Insurance companies are required by law to promptly pay property damage claims when fault for the collision has become reasonably clear. You may want to consider getting several repair quotes from quality auto repair centers in your area. Start by asking family and friends for referrals.

against Call a lawyer BEFORE you call the insurance company

The best advice is to contact an attorney before calling any insurance company. The lawyer will be able, even over the phone, to give you valuable advice before you do anything that could harm your claims.

If the collision was not your fault, you should contact the other party’s carrier, inform them of the facts of the collision, and ask them to confirmed Collision coverage. Unfortunately, just because someone has an insurance card doesn’t necessarily mean their coverage is still valid or wasn’t canceled for non-payment. Always call to consult.

d. Determine the coverage provided in your own policy

1. Towing and Storage If your car needs to be towed, check to see if your policy pays part or all of the towing or storage bill.

2. Rental While your car is being repaired (or shopping for a new vehicle), check to see if you have rental car coverage under your own policy. If you did not cause the collision, the other party is responsible for your rental car expenses, but you may not pay your rental bill until the entire case is resolved.

MY. See your doctor immediately if you need

If you have any symptoms of injury or pain as a result of the collision, get checked out by a medical professional right away. If you are injured, but do not seek medical attention, you will be hurting your ability to obtain full compensation. It can be harsh and ignore your pain, but don’t expect to get fair compensation for your injuries without proper medical care.

F. PIP or MedPay coverage

Your insurance policy may provide PIP or MedPay coverage. If you have this coverage, reasonable, necessary and related medical bills will be paid. To request payment, you must contact your own provider and submit the appropriate requests.

GRAM. Take photographs and keep a journal of injuries and their effects.

A journal can help you document the effect injuries have had on you and your daily activities. Include information about medical treatment, prescribed exercises, and medications. Also, take pictures of your vehicle and your injuries until they have been resolved.
