Steps to File a Car Accident Claim with Farmers Insurance
- Exchange information at the scene of the accident. Gathering as much information as possible about the car accident will make the filing process easier. Farmers Insurance recommends documenting the following:
– Name, addresses and phone numbers of all drivers and passengers involved in the accident
– Car license number, make and model of each vehicle involved in the accident
– Vehicle operator’s driver license number, insurance company and policy number
– Names and addresses of as many witnesses as possible
– Names and badge numbers of police officers - Contact the police. Farmers Insurance may ask for an accident report even if those involved in the accident received no physical injuries. Go to your local police station to file a report if you did not do so at the scene of the accident.
- Fill out the online form and wait for an adjuster. Farmers Insurance has a digital submission portal for customers seeking to report claims. Be prepared to enter your policy number (located on your insurance card), the exact time and date of the car accident, and the information listed in step 1.
Within three days of the submission, Farmers Insurance will connect you with an adjuster who will investigate the claim. The adjuster’s inspection of the car’s damage and analysis of the police report determines how much Farmers Insurance will assist with overall damage costs.
