What to Do After a Car Accident

After a car crash, you should always report it to the authorities. You should be as factual as possible and avoid making any assumptions while providing information to the police or an insurance company. After an accident, many people feel required to apologize to the victims, even though they had nothing to do with the incident. Insurers will occasionally use this as justification for denying a claim.

If you’re interested, you may request a copy of the report from the relevant authorities. Our website also features an online form for your convenience. We’ll go to work on your case as soon as we get our hands on the report. No matter the size of your insurance claim, one of our seasoned attorneys will review it at no extra cost to you.
