What is a claim?

A claim is a process where the insured files documents to their insurance company, stating the incident that occurred, along with the damages that they suffered. A claim with Geico Insurance can be filed online, over the phone, or by mail. Once you file this claim with your insurance company, Geico then will assign your case to an adjuster. The adjuster will look into the accident, and determine who the liable parties are. They will then determine the amount of damages that they are willing to pay out.

What happens after you file a claim?

Geico insurance adjusters are notorious for offering a very low amount compared to how much you have actually suffered. For example, if you have suffered around $10,000 in damages, then the adjusters will most likely value it at around $5,000 or $6,000. Insurance companies will want to maintain their profits as much as possible, therefore it is in their best interest to offer a lower claim amount. Insurance adjusters working for Geico are instructed to offer a minimal amount, however they do also have a ceiling amount. Ceiling amount refers to the highest amount that the insurance adjuster could offer. Having a trusted and experienced attorney on your side may help when trying to seek the highest claims amount. Usually, when insurance adjusters see that the claimant does not have an attorney, they will most likely offer a very low amount, especially because they know that the insured will not fight back and is desperate for any compensation amount. There are large sums of money that you do not want to leave on the table, especially if you need it for your damages.

Is Geico closed in California?

As of August 3, 2022, Geico Insurance decided to close 38 California insurance offices. There were around 100 employees who were laid off. Its main offices included those in Santa Monica, Burbank, Torrance. Currently, the locations in the state of California are permanently closed. Those who would like to purchase Geico Insurance will also not be able to purchase insurance through the phone. They stated that the reason for this was because they wanted to go all digital and will no longer offer any in office visits. Instead, they will be selling insurance online, and anybody who wants to purchase insurance must have to visit their website.

There have been recent worries that many believed Geico will soon be closing its doors to all California residents. A representative of Geico stated that they are still offering coverage to those in California, and all insurance will be able to access their account online through the Geico website.

If you have Geico insurance, and are located in California, you may still be able to file claims and lawsuits against the insurance company. Call us today for more information on how to start filing a claim for your injuries.

When should you hire a Geico attorney?

We recommend that you hire a Geico attorney as soon as possible after the accident. The best time to hire an attorney is prior to filing a claim. An attorney will assist you when filing a claim. Even if you have already filed the claim on your own, we recommend that you speak to our Geico attorney prior to speaking to the Geico insurance adjuster. You do not have to speak to the adjuster or give any statements, but the adjuster might make you believe that you do have to say something on the record. Having an attorney will better help protect you from any parties who might take advantage.

What will the Geico insurance adjuster do?

As soon as you have filed a claim with Geico, they will assign an insurance adjuster to your claim to investigate. The different types of evidence that Geico adjuster is take into consideration when determining the damage amount is:

Do I have to file a police report if I have Geico Insurance?

Geico highly recommends that after a car accident, a police report is filed. A police report will help the Geico adjuster assess the damages, along with the property damage and how the accident occurred. After you have been involved in a car accident, you should contact a police officer immediately to the scene so they can generate a police report.

What Is a settlement?

Geico will most likely try to settle with you prior to going to trial.
