Frequently Asked Questions

You should call your insurance company and inquire about turning in a claim.

Will it affect your rates? If the incident falls under Comprehensive or Collision? What deductible will you have to pay if any at all? If your deductible is going to be waived, how long does that take? Will they have to look at your vehicle? How is payment going to be issued?
