Insurance Claims: Dos and Don’ts

Texas Auto Accidents

Things You Should Do…

  • Call your insurance agent right away to report the car accident and damages. Be sure to read your policy, particularly the coverage and exclusions sections, before making the call.

  • Be mindful of your policy’s time limits for providing signed proof of your loss. Often this time limit is one year from the date of your auto accident/loss, meaning you have one year during which you can pursue a lawsuit if you feel your claim wasn’t fairly adjusted.

  • Consider any insurance coverage you may have under another policy such as homeowner’s or “umbrella” policies. You may learn that you have more than one policy that will cover your claim.

Things You Should Not Do…

  • While it’s necessary to notify your insurance company about your accident, you shouldn’t sign any releases or give any recorded or written statements to an insurance adjustor unless you’re certain of your coverage. If you aren’t sure about your coverage or what to do, contact the Texas auto accident lawyers at Daniel Stark.

  • Medical bills and lost wages may make finances tight following your accident, but don’t let these circumstances lead you to settle for less than what your claim is really worth. If you’re not sure what your claim is worth, talk to a Texas injury lawyer at Daniel Stark.

  • You shouldn’t take a check that’s designated as final payment from the insurance agency unless you’re truly ready to accept that amount as the final payment for your claim.
