If you or your family members had an accident covered by your insurance policy, the best thing you can do is file an accident insurance claim. Since most companies make their insurance claim process too complicated to handle, DoNotPay has come up with a solution. We can help you file an accident, life, unemployment, or any other type of insurance claim in under five minutes!
What Is Accident Insurance?
Accident insurance is created to take care of the costs caused by accidents covered by an insurance policy. One visit to the emergency room can cost up to $3,000, which is super expensive. That’s why many people decide to invest in accident insurance.
This type of policy can be a nice addition to your health insurance. In case your health insurance doesn’t cover all medical expenses related to your accident, this policy will. Companies offer different types of accident insurance policies. Some of the most popular ones are:
- Emergency care
- Specific injury care
- Family accident insurance
- Accidental death
- Supportive care
What Does Accident Insurance Cover?
While each company has different accident insurance policies, most of them cover basic expenses, such as:
- Hospital stays
- Lodging
- Emergency treatment
- Supplies
- Medical exams
- Final expenses
You can file an insurance claim only if your policy covers the accident in question. For example, if you injure yourself playing football but your policy covers only car accidents, the insurance company won’t accept the claim.

What Happens When I File an Accident Insurance Claim?
Most companies will issue compensation within a few days of approving your claim. Some of them will cover the expenses the same day you go to the hospital. Benefits will be paid to you directly so that you can choose how to spend the compensation.
Each time you file an insurance claim, your monthly premium rate will become higher. That’s why most policyholders choose not to call their insurance company for a minor accident that doesn’t cost a lot.
