Managing an Allstate insurance claim after a crash should be quick and easy, but it’s important to do it the right way. Even though you have insurance, it does not mean that the insurance is looking out for your best interest. By working with qualified car accident attorneys in Madison, WI, you can focus on your recovery while they handle the paperwork and negotiations. In this post, we’ll discuss how to file a car accident claim with Allstate.
Having a strong car accident claim begins the moment the crash is over. Much of the most powerful evidence is right there, waiting to be collected. Your first priority is your health, but if the accident isn’t severe, you can take these steps to establish who is to blame and give your claim a strong foundation.
Call 911 and request a medical evaluation so first responders can identify and treat any obvious (or not-so-obvious) injuries. Even if you think you’re fine, it’s smart to establish a record of any injury. See your doctor for a full exam within 24-72 hours to create an even stronger connection between any diagnosed injuries and the accident, which is crucial for collecting compensation.
There’s a wealth of evidence available before the debris and vehicles are cleared away. Support your claim by:
Say as little as possible, don’t admit fault, and don’t assign blame. Give the police only the basic facts of the crash.
Start your car accident claim by calling 1-800-Allstate or going to the Allstate website. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation recommends you have a crash number, Vehicle Identification Number, or license plate number when you initiate your claim. You can obtain a crash number from your crash report, which is available online.
File your claim within 10 days, and allow your lawyer to speak with the insurance company on your behalf.
After filing your Allstate claim, you’ll get a claim number, and the adjuster will contact you to discuss what happened. Don’t give a recorded statement until you speak to your lawyer, and be truthful. However, only restate the basic facts of the accident and don’t speculate about who is to blame.
In Wisconsin, all drivers must carry minimum liability insurance coverage, paying $25,000 for bodily injury per person ($50,000 per accident) and $10,000 for property damage. These minimums may not cover all your car accident damages. Between medical bills, lost income, and auto repair, you need a skilled attorney focused on maximizing your compensation.
While your lawyer will work to reach a satisfactory settlement quickly, they may also file a personal injury lawsuit to encourage a better offer and ensure you don’t miss the statute of limitations, which only allows you three years to file your case in court.
Insurance companies like Allstate often rely on their experience and knowledge of the claims process to minimize payouts. Working with an experienced car accident attorney can help level the playing field and ensure your rights are protected. A skilled lawyer can help build a strong claim and pursue the maximum compensation available for your injuries and losses.
