How long after accident do you have to file a claim?

Answer:

Hello Ed,

The answer is it depends. It depends on what your insurance company believes is reasonable and necessary. You do have to file claim to your own carrier under your duty to report losses, please see: http://www.auto-insurance-claim-advice.com/Duty-to-Report-Losses.html

Reasonable time might mean as soon as possible.

Contact your carrier Asap.

Good Luck,
