Early preparation can matter
Insurance companies have their own investigators, adjusters and legal resources. It is important to understand what information may be needed to document an injury, preserve evidence and evaluate an offer. We can discuss the facts of the accident, the medical care you have received and the questions you have about the path forward.
For many injury claims, important questions include who may be responsible, what insurance coverage is available and how the injury has affected daily life, work and family. We work to give clients clear information so they can make informed decisions rather than feeling pressured to accept a quick resolution.
After an accident
- Seek medical evaluation and follow recommended care.
- Keep copies of accident reports, photographs, bills and correspondence.
- Avoid guessing about fault or accepting a settlement before you understand its effect.
- Contact an attorney to discuss the facts and deadlines that may apply.
Every claim is different. A consultation can help identify the information that may be useful in evaluating your situation.
