Automobile Losses
  • First and foremost, if anyone is injured, provide immediate first aid assistance and call for emergency services.
  • Exchange your name, address, telephone number and insurance information with the driver of the other car(s) involved in the accident.
  • Write down the following information:
  • The date, time, and place of accident
    • Description of how the accident occurred
    • The name and address of owner of the other automobile
    • The other driver's Social Security and/or driver's license numbers
    • The names and addresses of all passengers and witnesses
    • The license plate numbers of the other vehicles, including witnesses
  • Promptly report the accident to the nearest police station and complete any necessary incident reports.
  • Cooperate fully with the police, but do not make any admissions about your responsibility in the accident. (Do not admit that it was your fault, even if it was!)
  • Report the claim to your insurance agent immediately.  For minor accidents, you can complete our online loss report or contact the insurance company directly.
  • Do not sign any statements for anyone other than an authorized representative of your insurance company or agency — be sure to request identification.
