GEICO and Your Auto Accident Personal Injury Insurance Claim

Whether you have GEICO for your auto accident personal injury insurance claim or the party with which you were involved in the accident does, you are likely to have a positive and quick experience dealing with them as an insurer. GEICO has a policy of providing fast and efficient service to their customers.

Reporting Your Accident

Once you are involved in an auto accident, contact your insurance agency as soon as possible after the accident. Sometimes it is necessary to seek medical attention, which is an obvious priority. Once every one is safe call your insurer and provide the information they request. It is a good idea to also file a police report. Your insurance agency may ask you to do this.

Receiving a Settlement

GEICO's settlement process is generally pretty quick. Once you provide them with all the information they need, they will follow up with any other parties involved, have an adjuster value your automobile if required, and assess any injuries. If you have injuries for which it is difficult to determine the extent of damages, they may require an estimation of future costs. All injuries, medical bills and loss of income should be reported immediately to insure timely and proper settlement.

GEICO Perks

Depending on your GEICO insurance policy, you may have several perks associated with your policy about which you may not be aware. GEICO has road side assistance. When you are involved in an accident and your car is inoperable, when you have a break down, when you lock your keys in your car or if you run out of gas, call GEICO to find out if they can assist you. The great thing about GEICO's roadside assistance is that they will tow you as far as the nearest dealership and as long as you have repairs done to fix the problem, they will assist you again the next day with another problem. Their roadside assistance is unlimited.

GEICO also offers rental vehicles to its customers when their car is inoperable due to an accident. If your car is totalled, GEICO will usually pay for a rental car for a few weeks, allowing you time to procure another vehicle.

Getting Legal Advice

If you are experiencing problems with your auto accident claim, it may be time to seek the help of an experienced attorney. Insurance companies generally respond quickly to an attorney. An attorney can assist you in assessing your claim and any problems you are having with it.
