Auto accident - rear ended not our fault should we notify our insurance company?

Question

we contacted theirs and they are moving slowly called a few days ago and have not heard back - we are in california - should we have contacted our insurance company right away even tho we were not at fault?

Answer 1

its always a good idea to let your ins.co. know,if it wasn't your falt,then they can't up your rates,but you still need to make a report w/them

Answer 2

I'm still waiting & my car accident wat oct of 07 - I expect a check any day now - literally

I did mention it to the person who handles our insurance.

Answer 3

You have two options.

1) Wait on the other companies reponse.  Since they're moving slow, then you'll mostly likely wait on a repair.

2) File the claim with your company.  Depending on your coverage, your deductible may apply.  However, you company will reimburse you for your deductible once the other company pays...

Answer 4

You can still call your insurance company & you definitely should.

They will contact the other person's insurance company & expedite the process for you.

Answer 5

Of course you should have notified your insurance company.  You should have also notified the police.  Why wouldn't you ?  Do it now before it is too late

J W, I recommend you find a local auto insurance agent to help. Since I live in Kentucky I can't recommend an agent in California, but here is an online resource that can help you. http://www.multipleautoinsurancequotes.c...
