Filing a Car Accident Insurance Claim
If you are not certain of what your insurance policy covers, ask your insurer. More often than not, you will be referred to a trained claims advisor who will help you with filing your claim. In general, as long as you have all the correct paperwork, filing a claim should be easy. Here's what you'll need:
- Your insurance policy number
- Detailed description of how the accident occurred
- Date, time, and location of the accident
- All the contact and insurance information from other involved parties
- Name of the police department involved, as well as a copy of the police report or file number
Once you submit all of the necessary paperwork, an insurance adjuster will evaluate the damage to your vehicle, provide an estimate of the cost of repairs, and let you know what your insurance company will cover.Â
Repairing Your Vehicle
As stated earlier, you must file a Collision Report Form with the police if the damage is estimated to be more than $2000. You will then be given a damage certificate, which is required before any auto body shop can start to repair the car. Bring your vehicle to the Collision Centre at Capital Chevrolet Buick GMC, along with the insurance claim information. If the car is undriveable, we can arrange to have it towed for you. We will then inspect the vehicle and provide you with a free estimate. If you agree to our estimate, we will order the parts needed and get to work restoring your vehicle to like-new condition.
