Car Accident Statistics

Facing cases like this alone can be quite challenging. With the help of an experienced Riverside County personal injury attorney, the victims won’t need to deal with the stressful paperwork that comes with filing a claim.

Riverside County Personal Injury Claim for Victims of Two-Vehicle Collisions

Your personal injury claim starts by opening a claim with the other driver’s insurance company. If you choose to do this before hiring an attorney, be careful: the insurance company will likely ask you to make a recorded statement about how the accident occurred. This can be used against you later.

While it’s technically possible to represent yourself in a car accident case, it is not the wisest course of action. Self-representation can put you at risk of making mistakes and missing your opportunity to recover for your damages. Negotiating with insurance claims adjusters is difficult, and the stakes can be high.

If you have an attorney, all communication must go through his or her office. This protects you from hurting your claim. You might also need to open a claim with your own insurance company.
