Car Insurance Claims

Filing a car insurance claim typically takes just a few minutes when you use our online account or mobile app. You'll need basic information about the incident, including the date, location, description of what happened and any other parties involved. If you have photos of the damage, you can upload them during the filing process or add them later.

When filing a claim, be prepared to provide:

• Your policy number
• Date, time and location of the incident
• Description of what happened
• Contact information for other drivers involved (if applicable)
• Police report number (if applicable)
• Photos of damage (if available)
• Names and contact information for any witnesses

Having this information ready can help streamline the claims filing process.

The timeline for processing a car insurance claim varies based on several factors, including the complexity of the claim, the extent of damage and how quickly necessary information is gathered. Simple claims with clear liability may be processed within a few days, while more complex claims involving multiple parties or significant damage may take longer. Your claims representative will provide an estimated timeline specific to your situation and keep you updated throughout the process.

If you're involved in an accident with an uninsured driver, your uninsured motorist coverage (if you have it) is designed to help cover your costs. This coverage may help pay for vehicle damage, medical expenses and other losses that would normally be covered by the at-fault driver's insurance. Your claims representative can explain what coverage applies to your specific situation.
