The accident was someone else’s fault. What do I do?

  • Make sure all parties involved are okay and notify the police.
  • Call your insurance company to tell them that you were in an accident. Let them know that it was not your fault and that you are going to pursue the other party’s insurance rather than going through your own insurance. By doing this, you won’t have to pay your deductible.
  • Contact the insurance company of the party who hit you to set up a claim.
  • Let them know you are taking the car to Shaffer’s Auto Body, and bring your vehicle to our repair shop for a free estimate.
