Geico wants to send an inspector to look at my car after an accident. How worried should I be?

When Geico wants to send an inspector to look at your car after an accident, there's no need to worry excessively. This is a routine procedure to assess the damage accurately, verify information, and prevent fraud.

Inspectors are trained professionals who will visually examine your car to determine the extent of the repairs needed. They will help Geico estimate repair costs accurately. In some cases, they may also verify the details you provided about the accident to ensure consistency and prevent fraudulent claims.

The inspection process involves setting up an appointment at your convenience, either at your location or a designated repair shop. During the inspection, the inspector will take photos and document the damage, possibly asking you some clarifying questions. This process is usually quick and professional.

After the inspection, Geico will use the report to approve repairs or provide an estimated payout if your car is totaled. If you disagree with Geico's decision, you have the right to appeal.
