Car Accident Attorney FAQs

How Do I Know If I Have a Valid Car Accident Claim?
The best way to determine if you have a valid claim for compensation after a car collision is to talk to an experienced car accident lawyer, like those at Keifer &Keifer. They can evaluate the evidence you have, like a police report, eyewitness testimony, or photos or a video of the incident. If the other driver was negligent, such as breaking traffic laws, texting and driving, or driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs, they can be held liable for causing the accident and be responsible for the harm they caused you.
Do I Need to Go to Court for My Car Accident Claim?
Not necessarily, although you may have to attend a hearing or go to trial if your case doesn’t settle, most car accident claims, though, are settled out of court in negotiations between the two parties. If the other driver’s insurance company accepts that its customer was responsible for the wreck and agrees to a fair settlement for your losses, you may never have to set foot inside the courtroom. However, if negotiations fail or the other party disputes liability, you might need to file a lawsuit and go to court. The attorneys at Keifer & Keifer strive to avoid going to trial, as it can be unnecessarily stressful for you as you’re trying to heal.
What Should I Say to the Insurance Company After an Accident?
You likely must report the accident to your own car insurance company; otherwise, you risk canceling your policy. However, while you owe a certain responsibility to your insurance carrier, you don’t owe anything to the other driver’s insurance company. There’s a good chance you’ll be contacted by the other driver’s insurance company and asked to give a statement. You don’t have to say anything to them, believe it or not. You’re not their customer. You can comfortably refer the other driver’s insurance company to your car accident lawyer from Keifer & Keifer; we’ll ensure they cannot twist your words into an admission of liability.
What If I Didn’t Seek Medical Attention Right After the Crash?
If you didn’t seek medical attention after the crash, you can still file a claim. Your decision not to seek medical attention doesn’t mean that the other driver was any less negligent or reckless. However, you should still see a doctor as soon as possible. Medical professionals can determine if you have ongoing concerns with your injuries or how you suffered them. The documentation of your injuries can help bolster your claims for material damages for medical care. Medical records establish the link between the accident and your injuries, which is critical for your claims for material damages.
What Happens If the Other Driver Admits Fault?
Record it! Kidding, but all jokes aside, another driver acknowledging that they were responsible or partly responsible for the collision can significantly improve your chances of securing compensation. You and your car accident lawyer can work together to develop a sworn statement or even an affidavit, which can be advantageous in your case. However, be cautious; insurance companies may still investigate the incident before accepting liability. It’s important to gather evidence, such as police reports and photographs, to support your case.
