Many auto accident injury victims wonder when they should contact their insurance company. The answer is as soon as possible. In fact, most insurers will require you to contact them promptly to report a car accident. (How quickly you should contact your insurance company should be spelled out in your policy.) You insurance company needs to gather all the facts about the accident, regardless of whether you are at fault. The company might also want to take a recorded statement from you about the details of the accident.
However, if you or a passenger were injured, or if you are concerned about your level of insurance coverage, it’s important to contact a Phoenix personal injury attorney BEFORE giving a recorded statement.
That being said, you are required by your policy to contact your insurance company in a timely manner. If you don’t, then that could result in loss of coverage without being considered an act of bad faith by the insurance company.
