When you’re trying to make a car accident personal injury claim with an insurance company, you should never throw out anything that deals with the case. This will make sure that you will always have any evidence that’s required and you won’t be stuck trying to prove something that you all of a sudden have no way to back up. However, there are two pieces of information you definitely should not lose when you’re negotiating with the insurance company, the police report and any hospital records.
The police report is the first report on the accident and likely the only one that contains an unbiased opinion from someone who was at the scene and is also an authority. It is the first document to establish blame and will give a description of the accident as well as anything else related to it. It should be on a public file, however losing it will result in a lot of headaches for you and lost time trying to track down another one. Save yourself the time and file the police report away in a secure location.
Also of great importance are all the hospital and doctor’s records of your injuries that were a direct result of the accident. These should show what you injury was, the extent of your injury, and also what time and where you were treated. To eliminate all doubt, always head to the hospital right after an accident if you think you were injured and make sure the bill you get shows the time and date you were there. This will help to strengthen you case for a personal injury claim.
Settling an auto accident can be a costly, time consuming affair. But if you save your paperwork and keep everything in order it will remove some of the frustration. For more tips on dealing with settlements, visit the Auto Accident Settlement Center.
