How Soon is Soon?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For those injured in an accident, it can sometimes be difficult managing a serious phone call right away. If you are sent to the hospital, or severely incapacitated directly after an accident, take the time to recuperate your energy. You should be equally protected so long as you do so within 3 days or 72 hours. If you are capable of calling and speaking to your insurance carrier, do so the very same day of the accident. In many cases, claimants will call directly from the scene of the accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read the Fine Print of Your Policy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It is important to know that some insurance policies have terms and conditions regarding deadlines for notifications of accidents. Your insurance carrier might require you to contact them within a certain time period in order to be eligible for benefits. Be sure you have read your insurance policy thoroughly so that you understand your rights and requirements as a claimant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking With Insurance Personnel<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You must be very careful when you call your insurance company to notify them of your accident. You do not want to implicate yourself in any way that makes you look responsible for the incident. Be sure to stick with the facts of the accident, detailing what happened, where it happened, what property incurred damage, if anyone was injured including yourself, and if there were any witnesses. Your insurance representative will walk you through a series of questions to get the information they need, initially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do Not Speak With Other Insurance Adjusters<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If another person\u2019s insurance company contacts you to discuss the accident, do not take the call. Only allow your accident lawyer to speak with any other parties\u2019 insurance representatives or adjusters. These employees are trained to manipulate any information you give them to lessen the value of the claim, or hold you responsible in any way for the accident. Even when contacting your own insurance company to explain the accident, it is best to first speak with your accident lawyer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
