What is the proper practice for filing this claim?

First, contact the police in the jurisdiction where the accident occurs. Don't admit fault but explain the truth of what happened to the police. The police report will explain the facts of the event and the insurance companies will work out fault. If you live in a no-fault state it will be different. Call the phone number on the back of your card and report the accident to your insurance company. You can also report the accident to your agent. If you have an agent it will be a great advantage to you in that you will have someone to assist you with questions and help you in dealing with your company.
