Chicago, IL (1888PressRelease) November 29, 2009 - Winter is peak season for auto insurance claims. Why? Because weather conditions lead to treacherous roads meeting unprepared-for-the-season drivers, that’s why. And almost as bad as getting into an accident is having to file an auto insurance claim and hoping to God that the claim isn’t denied. According to a recent InsuranceAgents.com article, “Auto Insurance Claims and Winter Car Accidents,” there are several steps a driver can take to increase their chances of a successful auto insurance claim this winter season.
“With snow-covered and black-ice-topped roads, there is potential for a driver to get into a nasty winter car accident at every turn,” the article states. “Winter is a busy time for insurance companies, with scores of other drivers also trying to make auto insurance claims. The key to a successful auto insurance claim, however, is knowing how to deal with the accident.”
Knowing how to deal with an accident this winter will determine whether an auto insurance claim is successful for not. The proper steps to dealing with the accident include:
1. Knowing local driving laws (and abiding by them)
2. Filing a police report
3. Contacting one’s auto insurance agent
4. Formally filing an auto insurance claim immediately
5. Cooperating with one’s insurance provider’s auto insurance claims process
6. Keeping a regular (and documented, if possible) flow of communication between the insurance provider and the driver. The driver should always follow up with their claim and make sure the insurance company is on top of it.
During the winter, with snow-covered roads and treacherous black ice, drivers should take precautions to avoid nasty accidents, including using snow tires, chains, being extra careful while driving, etc. But when an accident is unavoidable, knowing how to file an auto insurance claim helps one avoid steep out of pocket expenses.
