Accidents Happen!

Car accidents are just that…an unplanned and unfortunate event that usually results in property damage and injury.   

Even though accidents are unexpected you should be prepared for one with a few simple steps. 

  • Have the right coverage – do you carry state minimum limits on your Massachusetts car insurance?  The cost of medical bills are very high these days and 20/40 limits just aren't enough.
  • Do you have coverage to repair your own vehicle?
  • Do you have rental reimbursement in case your car isn’t drivable? 

Here are some reminders of what to do immediately after an accident: 

  • Move to a safe location
  • Check for injuries and call the police.
  • Exchange information with other driver.  Make sure to get name, address, phone, plate number and insurance company from them.
  • Contact your agent.  We are here to help! 

These are just a few helpful reminders of things to do after a claim.  What you should do before is give us a call at 888-637-8579 for a FREE no obligation review of all your personal insurance.
