Car and rideshare crashes
Hurt in a crash with a car, van or rideshare?
Whether you were driving, riding along or on foot, the first weeks decide what a claim can prove. Here is what we do, in the order we do it.
Bring what you have
Photos of the cars and the road
The police report number, if there is one
Any letter or call from an insurer
The names of the clinics and hospitals that treated you
What we handle in a crash claim
Three jobs run side by side while you recover.
Fault and insurance
We work out whose policy applies. If the other driver is uninsured, underinsured or insured in another country, your own coverage may matter, and we read it with you.
Records and bills
We request your records, keep them in order and show how the injury changed your work and your days, not only the total on the invoices.
The insurer’s calls
You can send the other side’s adjuster to us. We answer, so you can spend your attention on getting better.
Asked on every first call
Should I give the other insurer a recorded statement?
You are not required to. Statements are used to look for reasons to pay less, so it is safer to speak with us first.
What if I was partly at fault?
Fault can be shared. Depending on the state, a share of blame usually lowers a claim rather than ending it. We look at the facts before anyone decides who was at fault.
What if I have no car insurance?
You may still have a claim against the other driver. Tell us on the first call; it changes the steps but not whether we will listen.
Tell us how the crash happened.
A short message is enough. A lawyer reads it and calls you back.
No attorney’s fee unless we recover money for you. Case costs (records, filing fees, experts) are explained in your written agreement, including whether you would owe them if nothing is recovered.
