Claims
Should I file an insurance claim?
We’re sorry if you’ve suffered an accident or have experienced property damage that requires you to file a claim on your insurance policy. That’s why you have insurance, though–to protect you when something bad happens. At Tom Ruggirello Insurance Agency, we’re here to help guide you through every step of the claims process.
Filing a car insurance claim
If there’s a slight chance someone has suffered an injury as a result of an accident you were involved in, you must file a claim. If you choose not to file, you won’t have the car insurance policy to protect you from a lawsuit. In our experience, exposing oneself to such financial risk is inadvisable. If someone sues you as a result of their injuries and your role in the accident, you could lose everything. In such circumstances, it’s imperative that you file a claim.
However, in certain situations, it makes sense to not file a claim. Remember: Keeping your insurance record clean will probably help keep your rates down.
If you’re wondering in what situations you should or shouldn’t file a claim on your car insurance, this special report can help inform any future decision you might need to make.
Filing a business insurance claim
As with home and car insurance, keeping the number of claims on your business insurance policy to a minimum can help you keep your rates down. However, with so much invested in your business, you can hardly afford not to make a claim if a legitimate need arises. If someone is injured on your property, for instance–even if the injury seems slight–filing a claim on your business insurance provides your best protection against any potential lawsuit. The same goes for any injury sustained on the job by one of your workers.
