If a car accident causes you physical injuries or property damage, filing a claim with an insurance company can result in financial compensation to pay for your losses. The process of filing a claim is more involved than you may realize if this is your first time dealing with a car accident. Knowing what to do and what to expect can help you protect your rights and seek the financial recovery that you deserve when filing a claim with Liberty Mutual Insurance.
The claim itself is not the only thing that Liberty Mutual will look at when determining whether or not you are eligible for insurance benefits. During its investigation, it will also examine the steps you took (or did not take) immediately after the car accident. Take the following steps, if you can, to improve your odds of a successful claim:
For your own records, you should also take photographs while still at the scene of the accident and write down a description of the crash while the details are still fresh in your mind. Although Liberty Mutual does not have a deadline for filing a claim, it is best to file promptly for the strongest case.
Before you file your claim, gather information and documents to help make the process easier. This may include a copy of your police report and a description of what happened. The insurance company will ask for this information when you file. Then, use one of the three available ways to file a car accident insurance claim with Liberty Mutual:
After you file your claim, an insurance professional known as the claims adjuster will investigate your car accident to determine if its policyholder is to blame. If so, it will accept your claim and offer a settlement to cover your losses. If not, your claim will be denied.
In no way is an initial car insurance settlement offer from Liberty Mutual the best or final offer, regardless of what the claims adjuster says. There is always room for negotiation. The best way to protect your legal rights during a car accident insurance claim in Colorado is by hiring a Denver car accident attorney to represent you.
Your attorney can accurately evaluate your case and go up against Liberty Mutual on your behalf to pursue fair and full financial compensation for your losses. A lawyer can also connect you to top doctors in your city and make sure that you have everything you need to recover after a car accident.
