When to File a Claim

  • Anyone was injured (even minor)
  • Other vehicle has significant damage
  • Police report was filed
  • Other driver is uninsured
  • Repairs exceed 2× your deductible
  • Structural or safety system damage
  • Clearly not at fault
  • Can't afford repair out-of-pocket

When to Pay Out-of-Pocket

  • Damage less than 1.5× your deductible
  • Minor cosmetic damage only
  • Already have 1–2 prior claims
  • Can afford repair comfortably
  • No other vehicles or police involved
  • Want to preserve claim-free discounts
  • Older vehicle with lower resale value
