This is usually never a good choice and can often become a very costly mistake. It may seem like you’re helping them out and being nice, but there may be more damages to you or your vehicle than what it initially looks like. Unfortunately, the other driver may even come back and say that you were the one at fault, which happens more often than it should. Calling the police to report the accident and alerting your insurance is always the safest, and the smartest, way to proceed.

Many types of evidence will all be important when filing a claim for an auto accident. The most important evidence, however, will usually be your medical documentation. This is why it’s so important to see a doctor for your injuries.

Yes, you are able to sue your own insurance company. If you were injured in an auto accident and the other driver didn’t have insurance (or didn’t have enough insurance to cover your damages), or it was a hit-and-run accident, then you would file a UM/UIM claim with your insurance company. UM/UIM refers to uninsured motorist coverage or underinsured motorist coverage. If you file a claim with your insurance company, even though it is your own insurance company processing your claim, the adjusters working the claim are not there to help you, they are there to make the company money. Has your insurance company refused to offer you a fair settlement or denied your claim? Give me a call! I can help to explain what your options are and see what I can do to help.

How long you have depends on the type of case, and is governed by the Statute of Limitations, which is a law that sets a strict deadline for filing a lawsuit to recover damages. Once this deadline passes, in most cases you will be prevented from filing a lawsuit, although some narrow exceptions do exist. Also, it is NOT recommended to wait until the last minute (when you are only a few weeks from the deadline) before you start looking for an attorney. Many attorneys may refuse to sign up a client who’s deadline is fast approaching, because of the increased risk of malpractice (in the event that the Defendant in the lawsuit cannot be found and served before the deadline passes). If you have any questions about what the Statute of Limitations is for your case, or if any of the exceptions to the Statute of Limitations apply, give me a call! I can help to explain your options to you in more detail.
