Although USAA doesn\u2019t explicitly state a time limit for filing a car accident claim, the best advice is to report the accident as soon as possible \u2013 ideally within 24 hours. Some policies require drivers to report an accident within 72 hours of the collision.","@id":"https:\/\/www.truittlawoffices.com\/blog\/how-to-file-a-car-accident-claim-in-indiana-with-usaa\/#Answer"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question1","text":"USAA outlines how their car accident\u00a0claims process\u00a0works. Once you file your accident claim, the insurance adjuster gets to work investigating the cause of the accident and assigning liability for the collision. The company says this can typically take around 14 days. The claims adjuster will contact you and others during this time to gather the information they need to decide about the claim. You can check your claim status online at any time.  Next, USAA can help you get a vehicle inspection to determine the extent of the damage and the cost of repairs to your vehicle. If you have a deductible that applies, you must pay the auto repair shop once the repairs are complete and your vehicle is ready for pickup. USAA will send payment for any portion it is responsible for covering.","@id":"https:\/\/www.truittlawoffices.com\/blog\/how-to-file-a-car-accident-claim-in-indiana-with-usaa\/#Answer1"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question2","text":"Nearly everyone involved in a car accident worries about the eventual repercussions of a car accident claim, such as increased insurance rates.
