For people involved in light or minor road accidents, the car accident insurance is a way to get compensated for the losses. A road accident can be a hazardous thing, although many accidents are entirely preventable by taking simple prevention advice. However, the accident could just as easily occur because of another driver’s negligence, even when you respect all the common sense rules of driving. That’s when you probably feel the need to get compensated. Remember, the car accident insurance compensation is for minor injuries, because for the more severe types of accidents you will need a solicitor to represent you. Here are some things you need to do after an accident to maximise your compensation claim effort. RECORD AS MANY POST-ACCIDENT DETAILS AS YOU CAN This is a crucial step, as it could prove very useful in your insurance compensation claim process. The claim adjuster needs to analyse all the evidence in order to establish your eligibility for the claim. So, after the accident make sure that you: take the details of the other driver(s) involved in the accident, including address, phone number and email; do the same with the witnesses. Note the weather conditions at the time of the accident, the model and colour of every car involved. If you are lucky enough to carry a photo camera with you, take pictures of everything that could help your case. Many drivers, in the heat of the moment, forget to do all these things and get into endless arguments with the other driver. This is not the best way to handle it, as it can prove damaging to your claim. So don’t acknowledge your fault or someone else’s fault for the accident. It can only harm your endeavors.
CONTACT YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY This step must be done as soon as possible straight after the accident, you don’t have to contact a solicitor. Contacting a solicitor is an option only in the case of serious accidents, because the difference between what compensation you can get from the insurance company and the one you can get with the help of a solicitor is indeed worth your while. But this is not the case here. Carefully read the insurance policy and make sure you fully understand the amount of coverage you are likely to get for your losses. Be careful, because your insurance company will give you an initial sum of money which you can be compensated with. However, don’t take it for granted, because this is probably the absolute minimum and you may feel it doesn’t entirely do you justice, make sure you ask for more. Also, watch for the deadlines, because all insurance companies have very strict deadlines. You don’t want to lose your compensation because you didn’t respect it. SAVE YOUR RECEIPTS Receipts for the medical treatment, phone bills for phone calls you might have made because of the accident, must all be kept because they should be compensated. Of course, this also includes keeping receipts for the repair you might have done to your vehicle, or any other accident-related expenses you might have done. I must remind you that the accident must be entirely another party’s fault. If it’s not, there’s only a slim chance that you’ll get compensated. That’s why when you are being interviewed about the accident, make sure you answer honestly, and this could also be a way to check your eligibility for the claim. If you are dishonest, the truth will probably be found out, case in which your claim is doomed from the start for fraudulent reasons. A car accident can be a pretty traumatic event, both physically and psychologically.Going through all the legal procedures to get compensated requires time, vigilance and patience. In the case of a serious accident, the only way in which you can get fair compensation is to contact a car accident solicitor, who will guide you all the way and who will make sure that your interests are well represented. In the case of a very minor accident however, the car accident insurance is probably the best way to get you your compensation.
