What to Do After a Car Accident

If you or a loved one are involved in an automobile crash, you must contact the police immediately. Avoid making assumptions and give the police and insurance company as much information as possible.

Some victims, even if they are completely blameless, may feel compelled to apologize. Such actions may be used as grounds for denial of a claim by the insurance company. As a result, you shouldn’t behave like that.

Upon request, the appropriate authorities must give you access to the whole report. This page also features a short online form for your convenience. We can begin looking into your claim once we received such information. For the first session, which is provided at no cost, you have our word that you will receive our full attention and professional guidance.
