When winter arrives that often means slippery roads which can lead to accidents. If an accident should occur here are a few important steps to take to ensure that your claim is processed quickly and efficiently with MAIF:
- Call the police: always call the local police, even if the accident is minor. A police report is helpful when processing your accident claim, ensuring accuracy
- Document the scene: if possible, take photos of the scene, being careful NOT to photograph car tags or other drivers without permission
- Do Not admit fault: whether you are at fault or not, do not admit fault and allow the police and insurance companies determine with whom the responsibility lies
- Exchange information: you will want to have the tag number, driver’s license number and contact information of parties involved. Be sure to get the contact information for witnesses if applicable
- Report the accident to MAIF: call 800-492-7120 as soon as possible
