Using the camera on your cell phone to begin taking pictures of accident scene will help with additional evidence that will support your claim. Most camera phones offer good quality pictures, but don’t worry about the quality of the pictures that’s not so important. Gathering information from the other party involved is also important. You’ll want to get their license number, make and model of their car, insurance information and the registration number. As mentioned earlier this information without an accident report is not going to be enough.

Once you get home you’ll need to contact your insurance company immediately and file a motor accident claim. This is your responsibility. Depending on the company you may be able to file your claim online, or you will have to call the number in your policy they provided you with. This can be simple process or a difficult one. Unfortunately, this is often when you find out how good your insurance company is.

Making sure that you follow the process above to gather all of the necessary information while on the scene the entire process will be b e much easier, and you’ll have more time focusing on getting better, and having your car fixed. Worrying about a motor accident claim too late will make things difficult for you and bills will begin to pile up.
