For what can I qualify if I’m involved in accident?
Although an accident may seem minor, many times, they are not. Accidents can cost you significant amounts of money, time, inconvenience, and pain. Depending on the extent of the accident, you may need rehabilitation and you will most likely need to have your car repaired. Thus, you may qualify for recovery of loss of income if you miss work, any fees related to fixing your vehicle and other compensatory damage. Call us for specific details and advice regarding your case.
If I’m in a car accident, should I tell my car insurance company – even if it weren’t my fault?
Most insurance policies require policy holder to notify them as soon as an incident occurs. Prompt notice ensures your claim is fully investigated and paid. Reimbursement from the other party involved may be eligible, so telling your insurance company only helps the situation move along more swiftly.
