Frequently asked questions

Should I accept the insurance company's first offer?

Almost never. Early offers are designed to close cases quickly, before you know the full extent of your injuries. Once you sign, you cannot reopen the claim. Have an attorney review any offer before you accept.

What if the other driver had no insurance?

Your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage may pay. An attorney can also investigate whether other responsible parties — an employer, a bar that overserved a drunk driver, a vehicle manufacturer — can be pursued.

How is fault decided in a car accident?

Fault is determined by evidence: police reports, witness statements, physical damage, traffic-camera and dash-cam footage, phone records, and sometimes accident-reconstruction experts. Your attorney gathers and preserves this evidence quickly.
