Most commonly, the accidents cause neck injuries affecting soft tissues of the neck. These injuries are also known as whiplash injuries. Such whiplash injuries last for few days but sometimes might last longer affecting body and neck permanently.

Sometimes there is hit and run accident case in which the faulty driver hit your car and run away but still you can help yourself for proving the insurance claim.

It is wise to contact your insurer or agent right after the accident to avoid any inconvenience in future. You need to give them the details of any injury or damage caused during accident. In case there is no clear liability then the claim is settled 50-50 between the both sides.
The insurer does not raise the premium if the insurance owner is not at fault. You can also compare car insurance policies after the accident and get same reasonable quotes.
