It’s a common misconception that insurance providers are required to assist you or compensate you for any vehicular accidents. The reality is that insurance companies are a business like any other, and they are out to help themselves as well as their corporate stockholders. You must know the right steps to help defend yourself and win your case in the event you get into a car accident.

The following steps will assist you in that regard :
1. The police may or may not be at the scene and make a report depending on how serious the car accident is. Sometimes, law enforcement might simply give you a copy of the other driver’s information depending on how bad the automobile accident is or if no injuries were reported immediately. It’s your right to ask that a police statement should be filed to have a detailed account of the damage, witnesses, and any other crucial details you will need. Without one, you will need to deal with the possibility of inconsistencies in the defendant’s story that could make things harder. This will make it essential to get hold of the police and file a comprehensive account of the accident.

1.5 Taking photographs of both cars can certainly help you keep a precise retelling of the accident. Regardless of the seriousness of the accident, always make an effort to take photos of the current condition of both cars. Take more detailed photos of the damage done to your vehicle once the cars are towed.

2. One of the most crucial factors is immediately gathering witnesses and generating a thorough account of the accident. Witnesses can make or break a case, and sometimes mystery witnesses show up well right after the accident occurred, so getting all witness information at the scene is essential. Use the photos you are taking to help your case as it can help your side of the story. If you were injured in the accident seek appropriate medical treatment at the hospital at once and let somebody else take the necessary photographs and get witness information.

3. Always be cautious when facing insurance providers. Insurance firms can take advantage of your situation if you’re unable to provide the necessary information. Insurance companies are trained to elicit things from you or spin things in a way that will not assist you; in fact, it might hurt you. They are conditioned to find holes in your statement and find ways to dismiss your case in court. We almost never let our clients communicate with the other insurance company, and definitely not without us present on the call. Having the presence of a capable lawyer is always best.

4. Speak to a lawyer as soon as possible. We can protect your rights and make sure to conduct a thorough investigation as well as collect witness info that could help your case. Your rights are important to us so we want to help you deal with the difficult process of filing insurance claims. Taking legal action is oftentimes the best way to ensure your case is handled properly. We are a trial law firm that focuses on our client’s best interests.

5. Learn about your state’s traffic laws. The statute of limitations is two years in Texas. You will find there’s a 2-year limit for filing a legal case in the event of an accident. This should not be a problem if your lawyer is actively watching and moving your case along but it is an important date to know. You should be aware that most of the time you have the right to PiP or Personal Injury Protection. No matter whose fault the accident was, your PiP should be used to pay for your medical bills and repairs. This is essentially free money available to you, that you’ve settled in your premiums to cover these losses. This is helpful as it helps you lower your expenses on hospital bills.

As with most states, the insurance companies are becoming stingy and greedy, actually. Insurance providers do everything they can to delay or even deny your insurance claims despite demanding their premiums upfront. They simply do not want to pay. When they have to pay, they do everything in their power to limit what they have to pay. You need all the help you can get to have insurance providers pay what they owe you.

Clients with no lawyers are treated differently by different departments in most insurance companies. Different adjusters handle clients with lawyers which makes it highly helpful to have one. In fact, if and when the suit is filed on your behalf at court, the case is often moved again to higher-level adjusters, and in some cases, fair offers of settlement are made at that time.

Another well-known strategy of the insurance providers is to offer some outrageous lowball offer to victims of accidents right after the claim is reported. Medical help can be quite expensive and insurance agencies often further harm victims for this reason. Settling is often a bad idea as you can get much more money for your insurance claims. If the victim doesn’t have insurance, it’s not a complete loss. As long as you have your own personal insurance, you should be okay.

Most insurance firms offer poor coverage as they don’t wish to be forced to pay. In the instance of an accident, you can still have excellent coverage. Also, if the auto accident was not your fault, then your insurance score will not go up for using your vehicle insurance under these circumstances. Your lawyer or attorney can still prosecute for you even if you are using your own insurance policy. The insurance firm will not treat you any better because they are your insurance company. They still desire to protect their own financial interest and will do just that.
It’s extremely difficult to get a fair settlement when you’re up against big insurance companies. This is certainly an advantage in court, however, because the jury can see directly that the defendant is an insurance firm, and when the insurance company fails to look after their own insured, fails to follow the policy of insurance that you bought and paid for, juries don’t like that much.

You’ve been seriously injured in an accident and need fair and appropriate payment as soon as possible. We take your concerns seriously as the amount of bills and fees this accident could incur can be very difficult to deal with. Most insurance providers don’t really care about providing proper coverage. In fact, in the likely event they contact you it would be wise not to speak to them. Most insurance firms try to get you on record and entice you into a terrible settlement. The way they do this is be contacting early on and asking to make a recorded statement. They generally play mind games that make you trip up and work against your own interests. Replying thoughtlessly to their questions will make it extremely hard for you to get an honest settlement. Protect your case by having proper legal counsel regarding your particular case.

Justice means the amassing of every ounce of energy to address an act of irresponsibility that leaves a family member to suffer the pain of a serious injury with all of its disastrous and financial consequences of mounting medical bills, lost earnings, and continuous out-of-pocket expenses, all of which leaves the household in a state of panic, depression, and despair. Justice means a powerful and humane response to a cry for help to correct the agonizing harm inflicted by one’s negligence and indifference upon an innocent victim. Justice means the need for a personal injury law firm whose sole mission and very existence is to fight for the stricken victim in order to maximize a disposition elevating it to its most successful limit. Justice means the call to action of a personal injury law firm with a driving passion, deep dedication, firm commitment, and high reputation built upon extraordinary proven results in confronting the most complex of personal injury issues be they rooted in negligence, medical malpractice, product liability, defective drugs, defective medical devices, exposure to toxins, automobile accidents, construction disasters, or even slip and fall cases that by themselves, can cause devastating injuries.

When We Were Founded and Our Law Firm Creed
The year was 1984 when former New York State Supreme Court Justice, a master trial lawyer in the courtroom, founded our Law Firm. Inspired by the deep desire to help those who were seriously injured and who faced enormous odds in their battles against the insurance, medical, pharmaceutical and manufacturing giants, the firm creed as articulated by its dynamic CEO and award-winning senior trial lawyer, has now become legendary: To assist those who suffer tragic injuries through the neglect of others, and to ensure that full justice must always be our goal on their behalf. Those defendants who have been on the opposing side can attest to the doggedly aggressive, uniquely innovative, unabashedly uncompromising, but always ethical conduct of the firm that places the best interest of its clients above everything else. It all started with a burning passion to protect those who have fallen victim as a result of a negligent act, medical malpractice, or a defective product. The Law Firm creed that was the foundation and hallmark of its creation over 30 years ago has blossomed and has become even more pronounced with the countless victories and extraordinary results achieved on behalf of our clients who have suffered grave injuries through the wrongdoing of others. It is a fundamental creed that has continued to flourish as we approach exceed three decades of our founding. It is a creed that, as in the past, will continue to be followed in the years to come with our Law Firm, fighting aggressively with every ounce of energy for our clients in courtroom battles against the giants. Indeed our creed is one that will demand always that our clients receive the fullest measure of justice to which they are entitled. The Law Firm creed is one in which no opponent is strong enough to ever make us shrink or withdraw from the challenge we face in fighting for our clients, no matter the odds. We welcome and confront those challenges, and will never give up our passion to win. We can do more for our clients who have placed their trust in us, and certainly, we owe them no less. That is our Law Firm creed, and that is why we were founded.
