Initial answers after an injury
Should I speak with the insurance company right away?
You may need to report the accident, but it is wise to understand what information is being requested before giving a detailed statement or signing documents.
Which documents should I preserve?
Reports, photographs, medical bills, prescriptions, repair estimates, insurance communications and proof of lost income may all be relevant.
Can I seek help if the other driver had no insurance?
Yes. A review may identify available coverage and other potential recovery sources, depending on the facts and the policies involved.
How long do I have to act?
Deadlines vary by claim type, the parties involved and the circumstances. Some matters require earlier notice, so it is important to review the situation promptly.
Do you provide service in Spanish?
Yes. Lopez & Sanchez LLP serves clients in English and Spanish.
