Advice

What Should You Do After an Accident? - When you have been in a accident, you must collect the proper information and go through the correct steps to insure that you are protected and can make your insurance claims. Photographs, witnesses and weather and road conditions can play a big part in how your claim is settled.

Do You Need a Lawyer? - I am often asked, "Do I need a lawyer?" The short answer is, "Maybe." The long answer is "Yes." The reasons are a matter of education and experience, as well as time.

Your Insurance - Just because you pay your insurance company to insure you doesn't mean they have any less incentive to pay you as little as possible. Sometimes you may need help in dealing with even your own insurance company.

Their Insurance - The other person's insurance adjuster's job is to keep you happy, to keep you from hiring an attorney, and to find every possible reason to reduce what they have to pay to settle your claim. You may not realize, but speaking personally with the other guy's insurance company can even hurt your chances for a fair settlement. You need help in dealing with this person to get the amount that you are justly owed.
