About 'how to report an accident to insurance'|..., his insurance company won't... not a cheap car. The...a nice car to show off to... at how one side ...Here's the report of this accident on News.com...








               Usually               my               drive               from               New               York               to               North               Carolina               is               painless.

It               takes               me               about               ten               hours               of               driving               to               finally               arrive               in               North               Carolina.

All               of               my               trips               to               North               Carolina               and               back               to               New               York               have               always               been               free               from               problems,               until               about               a               month               ago.

I               was               once               again               on               my               way               to               North               Carolina               driving               my               own               vehicle               when               I               was               struck               by               another               driver               in               Virginia.

As               soon               as               the               accident               happened               all               I               could               think               about               was               how               my               trip               was               going               to               be               ruined.

Now               I               was               going               to               be               late               arriving,               my               passenger               window               was               blown               out,               and               it               was               raining.

It               just               seemed               like               it               couldn't               get               any               worse.

But               it               did.
               The               first               mistake               I               made               was               to               move               my               vehicle               from               one               side               of               the               road               to               the               other.

When               the               accident               happened               I               was               traveling               in               the               far               left               lane               of               a               five               lane               interstate.

The               other               driver               was               in               the               adjacent               lane               and               came               into               my               lane               and               hit               me.

We               moved               our               vehicles               because               they               were               in               a               dangerous               spot               on               the               road               where               we               could               have               been               hit               again.

I               should               have               taken               pictures               because               when               the               police               showed               up               they               couldn't               tell               what               happened.

Of               course               it               turned               into               "he               said,               she               said"               and               because               I               was               out               of               state               the               police               officer               blamed               me               for               the               accident.
               When               the               officer               asked               me               what               happened               I               was               still               shaking               from               the               accident               and               mumbled               between               tears               "               I               don't               know".

The               officer               than               spoke               to               the               other               driver               and               that's               when               it               got               worse.

Come               to               find               out               the               other               driver               had               been               a               Virginia               drivers               instructor               for               over               eight               years,               and               it               was               obvious               that               the               officer               knew               her.

After               I               had               calmed               down               I               asked               the               officer               if               I               could               make               a               statement               and               he               told               me               no.

He               also               said               that               he               would               not               take               a               statement               from               my               passenger.

The               officer               said               everything               would               be               included               in               the               accident               report               and               that               I               could               obtain               a               copy               in               ten               days.

Then               he               told               me               to               wait               in               my               car.
               While               I               was               waiting               in               my               car               the               officer               chatted               with               the               driver               of               the               other               vehicle,               laughing               and               smiling               the               entire               time.

After               about               20               minutes               he               finally               returned               to               my               vehicle               and               tried               to               give               me               a               ticket               for               reckless               driving.

I               couldn't               believe               what               I               was               hearing!

I               was               driving               my               classic               car               that               only               had               50,000               miles               on               it,               my               car               that               had               never               been               in               an               accident,               my               baby.

The               other               driver               was               the               one               driving               recklessly               in               a               SUV               in               the               rain,               traveling               well               over               70               miles               per               hour.

The               driver               of               the               SUV               tried               to               blame               her               loosing               control               of               her               vehicle               on               me               saying               that               I               hit               her.

Of               course               the               officer               believed               her               because               he               knew               her,               and               I               was               an               out               of               state               driver.
               Finally               the               officer               said               he               would               not               issue               any               tickets               and               I               figured               that               resolved               the               problem,               but               when               I               obtained               a               copy               of               the               police               report               I               found               that               he               stated               I               was               the               cause               of               the               accident,               a               complete               lie.

Now               I               have               hired               a               lawyer               and               am               actively               trying               to               get               the               police               report               amended.

I               tried               not               to               let               the               accident               ruin               my               trip               but               it               was               hard.

My               window               was               blown               out               and               I               had               to               drive               another               hour               in               the               rain               before               I               could               get               a               replacement               window.

The               window               cost               me               $200               out               of               my               own               pocket,               but               at               least               I               had               a               window.

Even               now,               a               month               later               I               am               still               trying               to               get               the               report               amended.
               There               are               several               things               that               you               can               do               to               prevent               yourself               from               getting               into               an               accident               while               traveling.

Knowing               what               to               do               at               the               scene               of               the               accident               will               help               you               get               the               accident               resolved               faster               and               easier.

Once               you               get               home               or               to               your               destination               there               are               also               some               things               you               should               do               like               call               your               insurance               company               and               the               Department               of               Motor               Vehicles.
               Preventing               Accidents               While               Traveling
               There               are               several               things               you               can               do               to               avoid               accidents               while               traveling               far               distances               on               the               road.

If               you               are               driving               numerous               hours               split               the               driving               time               with               another               person               so               you               don't               get               too               tired.

Get               Plenty               of               Sleep.Make               sure               that               you               are               well               rested               and               able               to               drive.

Split               the               driving               time               with               another               person               when               you               begin               to               feel               tired.

If               you               cannot               split               the               driving               time               pull               over               and               rest.

Contrary               to               popular               thought               turning               the               music               up               loud               and               rolling               down               the               window               is               not               going               to               help               you               stay               awake.

If               you               cannot               rest               for               a               long               period               try               a               10               minute               power               nap               and               a               brisk               walk.

You               will               feel               much               better.
               Secondly,               do               not               talk               on               the               phone.

When               your               phone               rings               try               to               pull               over               and               answer               it.

If               you               cannot               pull               over               then               don't               answer               the               phone.

Most               people               drive               erratically               when               talking               on               cell               phones               ,               ignoring               signs,               and               failing               to               stop.

Several               states               have               adopted               anti               cell               phone               laws               for               drivers.

Pay               attention,               stay               alert,               and               check               your               mirrors.

I               always               find               that               it               is               easier               to               travel               with               someone.

The               companionship               offers               me               ease               of               mind               and               conversation,               and               often               makes               the               trip               feel               shorter.
               Prepare               ahead               of               time               for               the               worst.

Even               if               every               trip               you               take               is               always               event               less               it               is               better               to               be               prepared.

Sometimes               I               drive               to               upstate               New               York               where               there               are               a               lot               of               back               roads               and               far               distances               between               towns.

For               this               instance               I               bring               my               car               safety               kit               that               has               flares,               jumper               cables,               a               flashlight,               a               small               first               aid               kit,               and               spare               gloves.

I               also               bring               a               gallon               of               water               and               a               fleece               blanket.

Even               when               I               travel               to               warmer               places               I               still               bring               all               the               parts               of               my               vehicle               safety               kit,               even               the               blankets.

Don't               forget               in               warm               climates               it               is               still               cold               at               night.

I               also               put               a               pad               of               paper               and               a               pen               in               a               waterproof               bag               with               matches               and               a               disposable               camera.

All               this               stuff               might               seem               excessive               but               you               will               be               surprised               when               you               can't               find               a               paper               or               pen.
               At               the               Scene
               The               first               thing               you               should               do               at               the               scene               is               pull               over               and               stop.

If               your               vehicle               was               totaled               or               disabled               get               out               of               the               vehicle.

Make               sure               the               driver               and               passenger               of               the               other               vehicle(s)               are               okay.

If               you               estimate               the               damage               to               be               more               than               $1000               call               the               police.

In               most               states               you               do               not               have               to               call               the               police               unless               the               damage               is               more               than               $1000               or               someone               has               been               killed               or               injured.

I               like               to               call               the               police               anyway               because               sometimes               people               will               lie               and               say               things               happened               a               different               way.

Most               times               for               me               it               seems               that               people               are               honest               and               things               work               out               easily.
               While               you               are               waiting               for               the               police               to               come               exchange               information               with               the               other               driver               or               drivers               involved.

Get               the               name,               address,               date               of               birth,               vehicle               information-make,               model,               year,insurance               information,               and               name               and               age               of               any               passengers               involved.

Take               pictures               of               your               vehicle               and               move               it               immediately               if               it               is               blocking               traffic.

In               some               states               you               can               actually               be               ticketed               if               your               vehicle               is               blocking               or               stopping               traffic.

Of               course               if               your               car               was               totaled               or               disabled               there               is               nothing               that               you               can               do               but               wait               for               the               police               and               call               a               tow               truck.

You               might               as               well               call               a               tow               truck               yourself               because               the               police               won't               call               one               until               they               arrive               at               the               scene,               adding               to               the               time               you               will               be               left               waiting.
               When               the               police               arrive               inform               them               of               any               injuries               that               may               have               been               suffered.

Tell               them               calmly               what               happened.

If               there               are               conflicting               statements               do               not               argue               with               the               other               driver               or               the               police.

This               will               only               make               things               worse.

Even               if               no               one               believes               you               don't               get               too               excited.
               After               the               Accident
               Whether               you               canceled               the               rest               of               your               trip               or               you               kept               on               like               I               did,               you               need               to               report               the               accident               to               your               insurance               company.

It               is               best               to               notify               them               within               24               hours               of               the               accident.

Usually               they               will               ask               you               for               a               recorded               statement               of               what               happened               so               it               is               best               if               it               is               still               fresh               in               your               memory.

Also               you               should               report               the               accident               to               the               other               drivers               insurance               company.

My               agent               will               take               care               of               this               but               I               choose               to               do               so               myself               so               that               I               know               for               one,               it               is               done               and               two,               they               have               my               exact               statement.
               In               most               states               if               the               damage               to               your               vehicle               or               other               private               property               was               estimated               at               more               than               $1000               you               must               file               an               accident               report               form               with               the               Department               of               Motor               Vehicles.

In               most               states               it               is               required               that               this               be               filled               out               and               sent               to               the               DMV               no               later               than               10               days               after               the               date               of               the               accident.

In               a               few               states               this               is               a               voluntary               form               and               it               is               not               required               to               filled               out.

Check               with               the               local               Department               of               Motor               Vehicles               to               find               out               what               is               appropriate               in               your               situation.
               If               you               had               an               accident               in               state               other               than               your               own               it               is               best               to               seek               legal               representation.

Dealing               with               interstate               laws               can               be               difficult               but               a               lawyer               can               guide               you               through               the               process               for               a               nominal               fee.

Also,               if               you               have               legal               representation               you               are               prepared               if               summoned               to               court.

Find               a               lawyer               whose               business               resides               in               the               city               or               town               of               your               accident.

Most               times               lawyers               only               have               license               to               practice               in               one               state.
               After               you               have               reported               the               accident               to               the               police,               the               insurance               company,               and               sought               legal               representation               you               must               do               one               thing.

Nurture               your               claim.

If               you               let               your               claim               die               you               may               not               get               reimbursed               for               repairs               and               damages.

Stay               on               top               of               the               paperwork               and               call               your               agent               often.

Since               it               usually               takes               a               couple               of               weeks               to               obtain               a               police               report               make               sure               that               you               mention               it               often               to               your               insurance               agent.

You               can               also               obtain               motor               vehicle               accidents               reports               from               the               police               station,               public               records,               and               the               department               of               motor               vehicles               for               a               nominal               fee.
