The sad part of life is that accidents do happen and people do get hurt. If you are someone who was hurt in an accident, then you have the right to file an insurance claim and get the money you deserve from that accident. In doing so, there are a few things to keep in mind while filing because they can help you file the claim in an orderly and speedy process. The first thing you want to do when filing a claim is to file it as soon as possible no matter how small or large the claim might be. Waiting around to file claims is not something you want to do because things can happen in the midst of that time and you may lose the chance to get the proper funding that you deserve. If you are involved in a car accident, for example, make sure to inform the insurance coming you are filing against right after the accident. This way you can save yourself a lot of time and stress in the process. These processes take a lot of time anyways, so the sooner you get started, the sooner you will see results. Next, you want to make a very detailed list of exactly what happened. Take inventory of the things that were broken, stolen or damaged. Take pictures and file a police report of the accident so that there is a satisfactory entity that has record of the accident. You also want to take pictures of the other car and the damages that happened to it. Some people are sketchy and end up getting their car fixed almost overnight after an accident so that it looks they were never involved in an accident with you. That is also why you want to make sure and file a police report. You want to make sure that someone of authority has a detailed record of exactly what happened so you don't get scammed out of the money that you deserve. You also want to make sure that you are constantly getting updates of what you are supposed to do in the situation. Insurance companies have a lot of people to deal with so they aren't always the best at telling people what to do step-by-step at the soonest time they know. That is why you need to take action and call the insurance people and find out what new updates they have available for you. 01 Insurance (http://www.01insurance.com/) sells insurance to those living in New York.
