FAQs
How long do I have to file a claim after a car accident?
You have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. If the defendant was issued a ticket, you have two years from the date of the disposition of the ticket.
Do I need an attorney to handle my case or can I handle the case myself?
It is not wise to handle your accident case on your own. Often insurance adjusters take advantage of people who are unrepresented. They will insist you make a recorded statement, which you should not do, and sometimes they will attempt to settle your case quickly so you will be on the hook for your medical bills. An experienced attorney knows the law and can walk you through process. Clients that use our services received 300% more money than if they would have handled it on their own.
Do I need to see my primary physician?
If you are still in pain after your emergency room visit, you should see your primary physician. If you do not have a primary physician, our firm will provide you with one. Our firm has a network of primary physicians, chiropractors, and physical therapists.
How long will my medical treatment last after an accident?
Usually someone will treat for a month or two after an auto injury. However, depending on the severity of the accident, someone can treat longer than a year.
If I was a passenger in a car that was hit by another driver, do I have a case?
As a passenger, you will always have a claim against someone. In a car accident it comes down to two scenarios: either the driver of the vehicle you occupied was negligent or the driver that hit the vehicle you were occupying was negligent.
