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.
