Can Someone Handle An Auto Accident Claim Without An Attorney?

The answer to that is a yes, you can handle an auto accident claim without an attorney. However, you’ll get less money. National statistics show that claimants who are represented by an attorney generally get about three times more money than those who try to handle their own claim. You must remember that the insurance company stays in business by holding onto your money. We consider that money as your money and they don’t like to let go of it. That’s how they stay in business, by not giving it to you in a timely fashion. You need a skilled personal injury auto accident attorney to pry this money out of their “Good hands”.

How Long Does It Take For The Plaintiff To Receive Funds After A Settlement Is Reached?

Usually within 10 to 30 days, we can get the checks and the releases from the adjuster or attorney on the other side after a settlement is reached. Only on a rare occasion would it go much beyond 30 days. Sometimes, if things go just exactly right, it can be done within 10 days.

Should I Notify My Insurance Company Regarding An Auto Accident?

Yes, you should notify your own insurance company regarding an auto accident as soon as you are reasonably able. You should notify them of the occurrence of the collision and the details of it. As a matter of fact, your automobile insurance liability insurance policy requires that you give them prompt notice of happening of the accident. After you retain us to handle your claim, we will notify the insurance company of the at-fault driver, so the claimant wouldn’t have to do that. He hires us and we’ll take care of the notification.

What Are Some Simple Tips That Can Help Clients With Their Auto Accident Cases?

There are a few simple tips that can help clients with their auto accident cases. The first one is the repetition of what I’ve said above, and I can’t repeat this too much. You should keep all your doctor’s appointments. You want to take all of your medications that have been prescribed. Do not discuss your claim with other people, and in particular, do not give a statement, recorded or written, to anyone once you’ve been in the accident. Along the course of your treatment and handling of the claim, do not lie, even about the details of your accident nor about your medical condition. You should keep and furnish to your attorney all medical bills, receipts, laboratory results and radiology findings. Another is helpful tip, especially if the case ends up actually being tried. If you are employed, and if this work that you are performing causes you pain or discomfort then share that fact with your coworkers. You may need them as a witness to help establish the pain and suffering that you’ve been through during the time of your claim.
