The turmoil of emotions following a traumatic event, like a car accident, can often obstruct clear thinking. Numerous essential steps need to be taken post-accident, which include contacting the police, capturing photographic evidence, and exchanging relevant information with the other parties involved. Therefore, it’s crucial to follow these necessary steps to ensure you effectively navigate through such a regrettable incident.
Tell your insurance company what happened and give them as many details as you can. It’s ok to be honest and it’s recommended because if they find out you lied to them, you could get in serious trouble to the point that you may not even receive coverage. It’s also important to go over the police report if it exists to see who was at fault.
In Utah, auto insurance policies are required to cover up to $3,000 in personal injury protection (PIP). You may have purchased more PIP coverage, but this is the minimum. Therefore, you can make claim this money to treat your injuries even if you think they’re minor. Chiropractic care is a great option to treat those injuries because it’s not invasive and it’s hassle-free. At Cascade Spinal Rehab Center, we even provide an “Accident Recovery Kit” to those who claim PIP.
Get your insurance company’s damage valutation. You can get multiple estimates on your car repairs so you can make sure your insurance adjuster is getting a correct valuation. If you and your insurance company can’t come to an agreement with the valuation, it may be a good idea to consult a Lawyer or other form of mediation.
Don’t be afraid to hire an attorney as long as they work based on contingency fees. This means that your lawyer gets paid only if you receive some kind of compensation or monetary reward in your case. A Lawyer can help you receive as many benefits to your recovery as you can get or help better defend you if you were at fault.
