SAFETY TALK!
Friday March 14, 2008
The warmer weather (hopefully) and longer days (in the evening) are here. This means that you will now see more people out and around at night. You will find people outside walking or running and you will find more kids out playing. In general there will be more “activity” for you to be aware of as you are driving in this warmer weather. The key, as always will be to be aware of your surroundings when you are driving around these areas. These areas include busy commercial roads, like 82nd or 86th streets in Indianapolis, or housing jobsites, where there could be more kids or dogs running around.
It is always to be aware of your surroundings. When the seasons change, the conditions of your surroundings change also. Be aware of this as you are driving in this warmer weather. Also, always remember to buckle your seatbelt.

Prompt Claims Reporting
When an accident does happen, it is important to call Great West’s 24-hour claims reporting line. This sets up the process and allows the initial investigation and intervention to reduce claims costs. When claims are reported late, it hinders the adjuster’s ability to investigate the claim properly.
Early reporting of a claim can lay the foundation for quick management of the claim. It is important for adjusters to get “evidence” while the memories are still fresh. The longer it takes to get this information from witnesses, the more likely it is that the memory of the incident fades. Report all claims immediately to Great West at 1-800-228-8040.
Safety happens when you are aware and prepared for situations. Be prepared by always having the seatbelt buckled while driving. It is the law.
