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.

That means the individual filing the claim must show that they have been harmed in some way, that the harm was caused by a lack of care on the part of another party, that the other party had a duty to exercise care, and that the harm was foreseeable. If these elements exist, one can file a claim. The exact laws and requirements for different types of negligence cases will vary as will an individual court's rules and preferences for filing forms, so while hiring an attorney is not required consulting with an attorney familiar with proper local laws and practice is wise.
