I would check with your compan y and see what type of plan and what coverage there is that you would have access to. Also there are professionals here that will swing by and give you a pretty good answer or ask you some questoins they will help you get the answer you need.	fireyone Senior member Joined: 07 Jan 2008 Posts: 1993 2.31 Dollars($)

Are you not insured with your company's insurer as a driver? However, its not clear from the post whether you have caused the accident or its a single car accident? Please, elucidate the query with the details of the accident. It'd help the members to give precise responses. _________________ Register Now to have your Insurance queries solved.	boxfullofrocks Guest

Your insurer may take the claim up if the primary coverage limit falls short of meeting the claim, i.e. your personal carrier would act as the secondary insurer. Hope it clarifies. _________________ Register Now to have your Insurance queries solved.	Noel Giovanni Guest
