Failure to do so can eliminate your coverage. If you were injured in an accident, check your policy to see how long you have to notify your insurer. If you have not yet secured legal representation, go ahead and give notice before the deadline passes. You can also let your attorney do so for you.  When making your report, however, keep in mind that you are simply required to give notice that an accident took place. Your own insurer is also a for-profit business primarily concerned with its own bottom line, and it will try to save money by denying your claim where possible.","@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/should-i-notify-the-other-insurer\/#Answer1"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","text":"Do Not Speculate About Causation; Do Not Underestimate Your Injuries; Do Not Provide Recorded Statements; Do Not Provide a Medical Release; Do Not Accept First Settlement Offers","name":"Answer Question2","@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/should-i-notify-the-other-insurer\/#Answer2"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"Should I Notify the At-Fault Driver\u2019s Insurer?","acceptedAnswer":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/should-i-notify-the-other-insurer\/#Answer"},"@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/should-i-notify-the-other-insurer\/#Question"},{"@type":"Question","acceptedAnswer":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/should-i-notify-the-other-insurer\/#Answer1"},"name":"Should I Notify My Own Insurer?","@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/should-i-notify-the-other-insurer\/#Question1"},{"@type":"Question","name":"What Are Some Pitfalls to Avoid When Speaking to Insurers?","acceptedAnswer":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/should-i-notify-the-other-insurer\/#Answer2"},"@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/should-i-notify-the-other-insurer\/#Question2"}],"name":"Should I Notify the Other Driver\u2019s Insurance Company of an Accident?","@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/should-i-notify-the-other-insurer\/#FAQPage"}],{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Blog","item":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Should I Notify the Other Driver\u2019s Insurance Company of an Accident?","item":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/should-i-notify-the-other-insurer\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
