Car Accident? Here's Why Your Insurance Company Should Handle Your Property Damage Claim

"I didn't want my rates to go up."

That's the reason we hear most often when a client explains why they tried to negotiate a car accident property damage claim alone, directly with the other driver's insurance company, instead of using their own. These efforts usually end in frustration.

Worse, negotiating your own property damage claim directly with the other side can damage an injury claim you haven't even filed yet, before you ever talk to an attorney.

So why do people go it alone anyway? Typically, they fear a rate hike, and don’t understand the protections that are in place.
In New York, if you weren't at fault, regulations prohibit rate increases because of that accident. Not for a bodily injury claim. Not for a No-Fault claim. Not even if the damage runs well over $2,000.
We broke down exactly what New York law protects, what to ask your own carrier for in writing, and why the property damage conversation matters more than most people realize: https://conta.cc/4r4dYlL
