After reporting the accident to open a claim, the insurance company will likely request a recorded statement to discuss the details of your accident and injuries.

Sometimes adjusters will try trip you up so that you may appear “upset confused, medicated, lacking sleep, or in severe pain unable to concentrate.” With the aid of an auto accident attorney you know you are protected from any inadequate questions or poor practices.

FAQ
It is essential to seek medical attention following an injury even if you don’t think your accident was bad. Small signs like headaches, tingling, numbness, jaw pain, other “mild” discomforts can lead to the diagnosis of an injury you may have never known about until you had waived your right to care. Experienced injury medical professionals know the small signs that are often overlooked. Seeking immediate medical attention often leads to a greater overall recovery.
You may be surprised, but not all medical providers offer care to persons injured in car accidents. This is likely due to the nature of their practices or billing procedures. Following an auto accident, PIP is your primary initial medical coverage over all other forms of insurance. Typically, you will need an MRI, a referral to an orthopedic specialist, or maybe even a neurologist. Our firm will be there for you if you have any questions regarding the providers in your community who can treat your auto accident injuries.
There is not always a direct correlation to the property damage and the severity of the injuries sustained from an accident. No two individuals are alike nor are two injuries are alike. There are numerous factors that can affect the damage as well as injuries caused by an accident. Discussing how the accident happened as well as what pain you have helps the attorney start the investigation process. We can help you navigate the insurance process as well as treat and heal your injuries.
