How to File a Car Accident Claim

Do Not Contact Your Insurance Company First

Insurance providers frequently tell their customers that they need to be told as soon as possible about any car accidents or traffic collisions you might be in. While it is true that you should notify them quickly – same day is ideal – you should call our law firm first. If you notify your insurance provider right after your accident when you are still nervous or shaken, you are more likely to say something that could put blame onto yourself. This will dramatically reduce your chances at obtaining correct coverage. When you work with our legal team at the earliest possible moment, we can analyze your incident and determine the best way to bring the case to your insurance provider’s attention.

Our goal is to provide you with a settlement or recovery that helps you pay for:

  • Vehicle repair or replacement
  • Initial medical bills
  • Necessary rehabilitation programs
  • Missed wages due to time spent recuperating

Our Client Testimonials

    “I strongly suggest you hire this company.”
    There are a lot of attorneys that claim they can do xyz, but this company actually puts the work in and gets the job done. They do what is best for the client even if that means they will make less money and that is what I suggest you hire them. I have never worked with a firm before that actually put the client first. I strongly suggest you hire this company.
