What To Do After A Crash: The Arizona Insurance Claim Process
What you do in the moments following a collision directly impacts your future compensation. Under Arizona law, you must remain at the scene to exchange information and report the accident. Once you are safe, the insurance claim process begins, and following these steps can help protect the value of your case:
- Report the accident: Call 911 or the Arizona Highway Patrol immediately to create an official record required for most claims.
- Document the scene: Take photos of all motor vehicles and collect contact details from witnesses before they leave.
- Seek medical treatment: Visit a doctor right away to document your injuries, as delays can give insurers a reason to deny your claim.
- Notify your insurer: Report the crash to your own insurance provider promptly to comply with your policy’s requirements.
- Evaluate your losses: Track all medical bills, car repair estimates and missed work time to determine the true value of your settlement.
- Open the claim: File a formal claim with the at-fault driver’s insurance to begin the investigation into liability and damages.
By staying in constant contact with us, you can move through these steps with confidence. Our Arizona car accident lawyer manages the complex deadlines and negotiations so you can focus on returning to work and your daily life.
Should You Talk To The Other Insurance Company?
You have no obligation to speak with or provide a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance company. Despite what they may say to you, the other insurance company cannot do anything to you if you do not speak with them.
Moreover, the other insurance company is not on your side and will use your words against you. Their main focus is to collect as much information as they can to defend against your claim. This is why it is so important to hire an experienced Mesa car accident lawyer to handle all interactions with the other insurance company or any third party involved in your case.
Car accidents involving commercial vehicles are particularly complex with regard to insurance and liability. Please see our Trucking Accident page to learn more. We can help if you have been injured in a commercial vehicle accident of any kind.
When Do You Need A Car Accident Injury Attorney?
If you opt to handle your own car accident injury claim, the insurance company will almost always offer you the minimum amount of money possible to settle it quickly. Insurance companies that try to settle your claim as quickly as possible are not concerned with the extent of your injuries or getting you the compensation you deserve.
Hiring an experienced Scottsdale car accident injury lawyer will take the hassle of dealing with the at-fault party and their insurance company so you can focus on what’s important right now.
