The AARP, or the American Association of Retired Persons, is the largest non-profit organization in the United States dedicated to helping Americans aged 50 and above live better, more secure lives. It was founded in 1958 and now provides services via the Hartford Financial Services Group, a large investment and insurance company.
As reported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), almost 7,000 elderly individuals were killed in traffic accidents in 2017 – or 18% of all traffic fatalities. Considering the fact that the retired population in the United States grew over 30% in the decade between 2007 and 2017, it is no wonder that insurance services for this growing demographic have expanded as well. Alongside services for everything from home insurance, retirement, healthcare, travel, and entertainment (all of which are geared toward servicing elderly citizens), the AARP has a very popular auto insurance arm that caters to elderly drivers.

This will include providing your name, policy number, pictures of the accident scene, documentation of any injuries sustained by yourself and/or your passengers or anyone else in the accident, and damage to any property you happened to have with you in the car at the time of the accident.
While the AARP provides straightforward and comprehensive accident coverage services for its clients, the situation changes when you sustain injuries in your car accident.
