How To Make an Insurance Claim

Insurance companies often dispute the facts of an accident or injury even when fault seems clear. It’s important to have an Ohio personal injury attorney at Kisling, Nestico & Redick on your side in an insurance dispute in order to obtain fair compensation for your case.

There are two types of insurance claims: first-party and third-party claims. It is important to know when and how to file each of these claims in order to receive the compensation you deserve.

  • First-Party Claims – First-party claims take place when you file a claim with your own insurance company. You can file a first-party claim if you were at-fault for an accident or if your home or property has been damaged. If the other party doesn’t have enough or any insurance, you may make an uninsured or underinsured claim on your own insurance policy.
  • Third-Party Claims – You should file a third-party claim when you are in an accident due to the negligence of someone else. A third-party claim goes through the at-fault driver’s insurance company.

It’s important to remember that insurance companies are businesses. They want to settle your case for as little as possible. Typically, an insurance company will make an early settlement offer for less than your case is worth in the hope that your claim will just go away. That’s why it’s important to make sure you talk to an experienced Ohio personal injury lawyer such as ours at Kisling, Nestico & Redick before accepting any settlement offer. We can help ensure that you are compensated fairly for your case.

Motor Vehicle Accident Resources

There are a variety of motor vehicle accident resources that can help you if you’ve been in a motor vehicle accident and help you prevent a future one.

There are important forms to fill out for every car accident. Although each state and police department may have separate forms, parties and witnesses should also complete the following:

    • Motor Vehicle Accident Report Form. Each party in a car accident is required to fill this form out. Sometimes the police who response to the scene will complete this form.
    • Statement of Witness Form. Any eyewitness to the accident must complete this form detailing their account.
    • Claim for Damage, Injury, or Death. This form should be completed by the third-party in an auto accident.
