the car insurance claim

Car accidents happen — that's what insurance is for. To give you an idea of how your coverage operates when you need it most, let's say you give your insurer the following info when filing a claim.
"A deer jumped in front of me during a yellow light. I swerved to avoid hitting him, but I ended up hitting the blue sedan in the opposite lane. Then I slid into the median, where my car struck a lamppost.
Once the dust settled, I checked on everyone: The family in the car — a man, woman, and their 2 kids — seemed OK but I couldn't be sure. They decided to play it safe and headed to the hospital. For my part, my neck was throbbing something fierce."
