Do You Have Questions About Auto Crash Claims?
We have answers. The knowledgeable legal team at our law firm is waiting to address your urgent questions. You may be surprised to discover the wide array of options for compensation.
- Did you know that the insurance company for the person who hit you, the driver’s insurance for the vehicle you were in and your own insurance company may provide coverage?
- As a pedestrian hit by a car, did you know that your auto insurance may pay for some or all of your medical expenses?
- Did you know that if something falls from a car or truck and you get hurt in a collision with it, you may be able to file an uninsured motorist claim?
- Did you know that auto part failures can also cause car accidents and that you can collect other compensation in on-the-job vehicle accidents beyond workers’ compensation by filing a third-party lawsuit?
We know how to handle insurance company negotiations in any type of car accident. We even handle court appearances in drunk driver criminal cases, requesting restitution orders from the drunk driver on your behalf for compensation that cannot be dismissed, even if the drunk driver were to file for bankruptcy.
