Your insurance company will need information to grant you your personal injury protection benefits, you need to immediately notify the company of a potential underinsured or uninsured motorist claim or those benefits could be lost. Additionally, often your own insurance policy may cover an accident which did not even involve your vehicle. You will need to consider and assess the coverage of several policies, including that of the Defendant. After an accident make sure to: 1. Exchange the following information with the other driver: name, address, telephone number, driver's license number, name of insurance company, and policy number; 2. Names of passengers, including their address and phone number; 3. Names of witnesses with address and phone number; and 4. Names of the owner, if not the driver, including address, phone number, insurance company, and policy number.
