Use these tips to make sure you protect yourself and help the claims process move smoother if you do end up filing a claim. It's hard to think clearly when an accident does happen, so we recommend writing these tips down and keeping it in your car with your insurance card so you can remember all the important things you will need.
Make sure your agent is there for you if an accident happens.
