Yes. Even if the collision is not your fault, it’s in your best interest to inform your insurance company that you were involved in an accident. Colorado car insurance policies typically require you to report an accident promptly. This may also help protect your legal rights.
In some cases, you may have to seek coverage from your personal insurance company, if the other driver is uninsured.
However, limit your conversation with the insurance companies to reporting the fact that you were involved in an accident. Do not discuss fault or other details of the case, as some statements could hurt your case.
Although insurance policies usually require you to let the insurance company know about an accident in a timely manner as part of their terms, your attorney can handle further discussions and negotiations regarding the details of the accident. Consult an experienced Colorado Springs car accident attorney at Heuser & Heuser, LLP for guidance.
