Make sure that all parties involved are on the same page about what needs to be done next – who should call whom, when things need to happen, etc.

2) BE PATIENT WITH YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY

The insurance company isn’t actively trying to delay your payout. They are just doing their due diligence to make sure you aren’t lying about your claims or filing multiple claims with different companies, so be patient with them!

3) KNOW WHAT YOU’RE COVERED FOR

Be sure to read through their policy and know what types of accidents are covered (if any), what is considered reasonable damage.

4) THE BODYSHOP

If you have been in a car accident and your car is going to be in the shop for an extended amount of time, always get rental coverage from your insurance company.

If your insurance company says they won’t cover your claim because of your deductible (the amount of money you owe before an insurer will pay for anything), there’s still hope!
