How do you check insurance claims on a car?
I got in a fender bender a couple of days ago when leaving my neighborhood. How do I check the progress of my insurance claim?

Sorry to hear about your fender bender. Depending on your car insurance, the easiest way to check your progress could be to call an agent directly or log in to your account online. Give the claim number assigned to you when you filed the claim to check your claim status.
Generally, the time it takes to resolve a claim will depend on the extent of the damage. While
fender benders
might not compare to a major accident, the damage to your car might be more expensive than it looks.Your insurance company might be taking a longer time because they are waiting to hear back from mechanics who are estimating repair costs, for example.
Getting in an accident can cause your insurance rates to rise once you renew your policy, so now’s a good time to
shop around for insurance quotes
to see if switching providers could save you money. Jerry
allows you to compare competitive quotes from up to 50 top insurance companies and takes care of everything from securing a new policy to canceling your old one. No long forms. No hard work. Just savings. View full answer
