If you were injured in an accident in Arizona, you may need to deal with State Farm during the insurance claims process. State Farm may insure the person who caused your injuries, or you may have coverage through your own State Farm policy.
Knowing how an insurance claim works can help you avoid mistakes and protect your rights. Insurance companies investigate claims carefully before deciding what they will pay. If you are having trouble with a claim, an Arizona personal injury lawyer at KRLG Injury Lawyers can review your case and explain your options. Contact the firm today for a free consultation.
How Do I File a State Farm Insurance Claim in Arizona?
After an accident, you should report the incident to the appropriate insurance company as soon as reasonably possible. State Farm allows claims to be reported online, through its mobile app, or by phone.
When reporting a claim, you may be asked to provide information such as:
- Your name and contact information
- The date and location of the accident
- The vehicles or people involved
- A basic description of what happened
- Insurance information
- Photos or other available evidence
Provide accurate information, but avoid guessing about facts you do not know. You should also be cautious about making broad statements regarding fault or the extent of your injuries before all the facts are clear.
What Happens After I File a State Farm Claim?
After a claim is opened, State Farm may assign an insurance adjuster to investigate what happened. The adjuster may review accident reports, photographs, medical information, witness statements, repair estimates, and other evidence.
If another person caused your accident, the insurer may also investigate whether its policyholder is legally responsible for your losses.
Keep copies of important documents during this process. Medical bills, wage records, receipts, photographs, and communications with the insurance company may become important when determining the value of your claim.
What Should I Know Before Speaking With a State Farm Adjuster?
An insurance adjuster may seem helpful, but their job is to investigate the claim for the insurance company. When you are pursuing compensation from another person’s insurer, your interests and the insurer’s interests may not always be the same.
An adjuster could ask for a recorded statement or request medical records. Before providing extensive information or signing an authorization, consider speaking with an attorney.
You should be truthful when communicating with an insurer. However, you do not need to speculate about how the accident occurred, minimize your symptoms, or agree to a settlement before you understand your injuries and losses.
What Compensation Could Be Available Through a State Farm Claim?
The compensation available depends on the circumstances of the accident, applicable insurance coverage, and the extent of your losses.
An Arizona personal injury claim may include compensation for:
- Medical expenses
- Future medical treatment
- Lost wages
- Reduced earning capacity
- Property damage
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Disability or disfigurement
The value of a claim can depend on the severity of your injuries, how long they affect you, and whether you share responsibility for the accident.
Before accepting an offer, make sure you understand what the settlement covers. Resolving a claim generally means giving up your ability to seek additional compensation for covered losses later.
When Should I Contact an Arizona Personal Injury Lawyer?
You can speak with an attorney at any point during an insurance claim. Legal help may be particularly useful when you suffered serious injuries, liability is disputed, multiple parties were involved, or the insurer offers less than you believe your claim is worth.
A personal injury lawyer can gather evidence, calculate your damages, communicate with State Farm, and negotiate on your behalf. If the claim cannot be resolved fairly, your attorney can determine whether filing a lawsuit is appropriate.
Arizona also imposes deadlines on personal injury lawsuits. Speaking with a lawyer early can help you identify the deadline that applies and preserve evidence needed for your case.
