No matter how careful you are on the road, accidents happen. The severity of the accident, the conditions under which they occur, and the financial and legal repercussions may vary, but one thing remains the same. You’re likely going to have questions. Here are answers to a few of the questions we hear most often:
- What should I do immediately after an accident?
First and foremost, ensure everyone's safety. If there are any injuries, seek medical attention right away. Call the police to report the accident and obtain a police report. Document the scene by taking photos and gathering contact information from witnesses. Notify your insurance company of the accident. - Should I see a doctor even if I feel fine?
Yes, we recommend you see a doctor after an accident, even if you don't feel injured. Some injuries, such as whiplash or internal injuries, may not be immediately apparent. A medical evaluation can help identify and document any potential injuries, which can be important for your insurance claim. - Do I really need a lawyer?
While you’re not required to hire one, having an experienced attorney ensures your rights are protected and you receive the compensation you’re entitled to. We can do all the hard work while you focus on recovery. - Can’t I trust the insurance company will take care of me?
The insurance company’s goal is to settle quickly. Their goal is to make money, not pay it out. We work for you, not against you. We’ll get to know you, the facts of your case and we will work tirelessly to be as successful as we can on your behalf. - How much is my case worth?
Every case is unique, and the value of your case depends on many factors. We understand the law, we understand how this accident has impacted your daily life – physically, emotionally and financially, and we are committed to securing the best possible outcome to help you return to your “most normal” quality of life.
