How do I track a car insurance claim?

I got into an accident. My car isn’t totaled, but I’d still like to know how long this is going to take. Can I track an insurance claim?

Whether you can track your claim depends on your
car insurance company
. Some companies allow you to track claims on their mobile apps or websites.
Generally, after you file a claim, your car insurance company will let you know what to do next, like calling a claim agent and adjuster who will want all the accident details. They will also come and inspect your vehicle or have you take photos of the damage.
If you want more information about your claim, never be afraid to contact your insurance! Most insurance companies have dedicated claims agents, meaning someone is always available to answer your questions.
Once you’ve settled your claim, it never hurts to shop around for insurance. Claims and accidents can increase your insurance rates, so comparison shopping will ensure you’re never overpaying for insurance. If you’d like an easy way to compare rates, try
