Make a note of the date, time, and location of the accident, the road conditions, the make, model, and year of the vehicles involved, insurance companies and policy numbers, any damage and injury information, and what you saw and what happened.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Contact your insurance company as soon as possible following the accident.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Be certain to make notes in reference to your conversations with the insurance company, any police, lawyers, or other persons involved in the accident.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Find out if you could get a rental vehicle, if you need one, with your insurance policy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you have a disagreement with your insurance company about the amount of compensation you should get, contact your state insurance department. The Utah Insurance Department&rsquo;s Property and Casualty Division can be reached at&nbsp;(800) 439-3805.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ask for a recommendation from your insurance company for a shop to repair any damages to your vehicle. Find out if they will pay you or the repair shop, too.<\/p>\n<h3>Give Us A Call<\/h3>\n<p>Contact United Insurance Services, Inc., serving the greater Bluffdale, UT community, to get an insurance policy that would help you if you have a car accident.
