State Farm’s claims-handling process is truly an embarrassment. You are anything but “in good hands” with State Farm.

Stop your car immediately, no matter how minor the collision.

Car accidents can be incredibly scary, especially if injuries and property damage are involved. Accidents can also be confusing. In the heat of the moment, you might forget everything you have been told over the years about what to do when you are involved in an accident.
The insurance adjustor (i.e., the individual from the insurance company who will decide how much money, if any, to pay to you) will begin preparing your case. It is their job to reduce the amount of money that their employer (the insurance company) will pay you.
