Filing A Claim

• The fastest way to file an auto insurance claim is to call your insurance company directly. Some carriers allow you to file a claim online. If so, logon to their Web site for more information. (see phone numbers and links of the carriers we represent on the left). Please let us know as well.
• A claim representative should contact you within a reasonable period. As part of the investigation, other drivers and witnesses may be contacted. If you have medical payments or uninsured motorist claims, you must provide documentation of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, etc. Do not sign anything you don't understand or agree with.
