After a Car Accident

Answer:

The question often comes up, what should you do when you’re in an auto accident in Arizona? It’s a very common question that our clients ask us all the time. In fact, I’d say it’s the most common question. They called in and spoke to one of our attorneys about that. Here’s what our attorney said; there are some specific steps that you want to do if you’re involved in a car accident in Arizona.

Call and get some specific guidance from one of our attorneys about your case. Most of the people that call us don’t realize all the things they are entitled to. They are entitled to something called loss of use, maybe $25 every day that they didn’t have a rental car, or diminished resale value.

If your car is repaired and it’s not worth as much before, no insurance company is going to tell you that and volunteer to pay you for it. That’s another reason why you should call our law firm and find out those things first. There’s a lot of steps.

You need to get to the top medical experts to take care of your injuries; orthopedic surgeons, neurologists that really understand the medical legal field. There aren’t very many of those. We’ll give you some references and recommendations for free just to help you out, even if you haven’t decided to hire us yet.

As far as getting the police report, nowadays that alone can be a hassle. Sometimes we can speed up that process for you. We don’t charge for getting your police report. Even if you haven’t decided to hire us, we’ll do that for you for free.

Down the road you’re going to need to get together all of your medical records, the medical bills. If you do it on your own, you want to present it in a way that will be the most compelling to the insurance company and get them to pay you the most money. Insurance companies aren’t fools in this regard though. They know that if you’re representing yourself and they give you a crappy offer, there’s really not too much you can do except go I don’t think that’s right. Of course, at that point a lot of clients call us.

There’s less we can do if it’s now six months later or a year later. You may have harmed your case. That’s why call us at the beginning. That’s when you can get the best guidance and keep those mistakes from happening. Remember, the call is free. The information is free. We are here to help you.
