Speaking
with a Tampa Personal Injury Attorney and Insurance Companies
One regular question we receive from car
accident victims is, “Should I speak to my insurance
company?” As a policyholder, you have agreed to report
a car accident to your insurance company. After a car accident
with injuries, therefore, it’s important that you
contact both your insurance company and an experienced Tampa
personal injury attorney.
Car insurance policies require policyholders
to report accidents as soon as possible after the accident
takes place. Contact your insurance company immediately
following the accident if you are physically able to do
so. As you speak with your insurance company, review the
following items:
-
Your coverage and deductibles
-
Exclusions in your policy
-
Time limits for claims on your policy
In addition, every time you speak with your
insurance company, document names, titles, phone numbers,
and the conversation. Be honest and complete in answering
questions to your insurer, but it’s not necessary
to admit fault to your insurance company (or anyone else)
after an accident. Be careful in giving recorded or written
statements to insurance companies.
