Car Owner's Checklist

If you have the misfortune of an accident or damage to your automobile, there are immediate steps you should take:

• Get help for the injured.
• Notify the police about the accident.
• Exchange information (name, driver's license number, insurance) with other drivers involved in the accident.
• Don't discuss fault or blame at the scene of the accident.
• Get the names and numbers of any witnesses.
• Contact your insurance agent.
• Take photos of the accident site.
• Keep records of any expenses you incur as a result of the accident.

When settling your automobile claim, Farm Bureau Insurance claims representatives will have several concerns. These include determining:

• Cause of the accident.
• Injuries to all persons covered by the policy.
• Damage to the car.

The claims representative will thoroughly investigate the accident by taking statements from parties involved, visiting the scene of the accident, taking photographs and making diagrams.
