The Dos and Don’ts of a Georgia Insurance Claim [Part A]

If you are in a position in which you need to file a Georgia insurance claim for serious injuries and other damages, you should get legal guidance from Carrollton attorneys. Although you may have insurance with a reputable company and pay your premiums on time, you may run into a few obstacles when filing a claim.

Things to Do When Filing a Georgia Insurance Claim

Some of things you should do after you or a loved one has been involved in a serious
car accident include:

  • Consulting Carrollton attorneys who have experience dealing with insurance companies on a day-to-day basis. Additionally, they can detect the strengths and weaknesses in your case and present it in the best light possible.
  • Reading your insurance policy, especially the fine print, so you will have a good understanding of your coverage. If you do not seek coverage that you are entitled to, your insurance representative will not bring this oversight to your attention.
  • Promptly reporting your car accident to your insurance company. Any delays could raise eyebrows and damage your claim. When you speak with an adjuster, make sure to jot down the name, title and number of the person you speak with, as well as the details of the conversation and any promises that were made. Be honest, but do not be too open to discuss the extraneous details of your accident.
  • Gathering evidence at the accident scene. Take pictures from different angles, get contact information from witnesses and retain any damaged property, including car parts, child seats and ripped clothing. Also take pictures of any visible injuries.
  • Keeping receipts for a rental car, medical bills and any other expenses directly related to the accident.

To protect your legal rights while filing a Georgia insurance claim, you should contact Carrollton attorneys as soon as possible after you have been involved in an accident. By having experienced attorneys on your side, you can level the playing field with the insurance companies.
