Sorry to hear about your collision, but hopefully, this answer will make the process of filing a claim just a tad easier.
Since you have full coverage with
State Farm
, you can submit a claim under your
collision coverage
. Collision coverage protects your vehicle from any damage when it collides with another vehicle or object.
To submit a claim with State Farm, you can go online, through their mobile app, or by calling 1-800-SF-CLAIM, or 1-800-732-5246.
Once you report your damage, a claim adjuster will review the details of your claim. They’ll let you know if they need any further information and what happens next in the process. You will also need to get an estimate from a repair shop. If approved, State Farm will pay for your repairs.
If you find that your car insurance rate goes up drastically as a result of your claim, you may also want to shop around for quotes. Use the
