Your insurance company will deal with it.

If she wins her claim then your insurance will pay out.

Your insurance company will deal with it. You don't have to do anything.

if you have insurance, that is..


Eddie
That will be paid by your insurance company. This is why premiums keep going up and up as the claims get more and more expensive each year.

If she has a lawyer your insurance company will settle out of court and your rates will be increased for two years (I believe - might be three).

shes more than likely going to sue you for damages and medical costs

Your insurance company will deal with and cover her claim - as long as you have a valid policy that is

If you were at fault for the accident, your insurance should pay for the damages if you are covered with liability. Your insurance rates will increase.

Leave it all to your insurance company and expect your premium to increase significantly upon renewal.

i was in a collision a few years ago, totally my fault. hit a lady head on. i was served with papers saying she was trying to sue me fo $750,000. keep in touch with your insurance company, they will be handling it from here. she ended up settling out of court for $30,000, paid by my insurance company. i was told that the amount was about the average settlement. that'll probably be the case if you were at fault. as long as you have insurance coverage, you'll be all set, that's why we get insurance. no need to panic, it's out of your hands at this point.

Ask your claims adjuster, they'll have the most details on your specific claim. Your insurance is likely to pay out on these things, hers might for some things as well, it depends a lot on who is at fault and what coverages you have/what coverages have already been exhausted.

What's likely to happen if you're at fault is your insurance rates will go up for a few years.

She will get a lawyer and most likely sue you. the insurance company's get involved. This will be a long time coming. Trust me i know !!

the insurance company will sort it out, just tell the truth and leave it to them.

your insurance firm will see to every thing . some one ran in to me last year i put a personal injury claim in . my insurance company did every thing for me

hiya, your insurance company will have to fight it in court,i had a car accident 3yrs ago.i had a whiplash,and was under the hospital for 4 weeks.i got awarded £3,500.there insurance paid out,as it was there fault the accident happen.so because you were to blame,on your car accident,your insurance will pay her injury claim.


The original Peter G
Don't answer or contact the other person. Just send everything to your insurance company ASAP. That's what you have insurance for.


Amir
if u gave all ur insurance details then my freind there is no getting out of it. cause all these accident management companys r a bunch of greedy b****rds. jus deny the fact that u hit her hard.and another thing jus make up your own witnessis and say that he/she saw that i did nothing wrong...its theire burden 2 prove that ur lying.same thing happened 2 me.anyways good luck....


Larry E

First of all, don't listen to Amir. If you claim there were witnesses, and you didn't hit her hard (and it's a lie)... you will get in trouble since she's also going to tell her insurance company what happened and they will know from that if you makeup witnesses. Also they can tell by the car damages whose fault the accident is so trying to say it wasn't your fault is useless also. If you lie to the insurance company you can be charged with fraud so it's not worth getting in major trouble over something that's really just an accident. In terms of her whiplash, she may or may not get a lawyer. If she does, the insurance companies will likely settle it between them and chances are it won't need to go to court. The good news is insurance will likely take care of everything. The bad news is your premiums will probably go up and stay higher for a few years. I got rear-ended at a stop light and it wasn't even at a high speed. I suffered whiplash for weeks so imagine how she feels right now. Probably worse than you. Consider yourself lucky that no one was more seriously hurt and just let insurance handle it.
