What should I do in the event of a car accident in Charlottesville?

If you’ve been in a car accident in Charlottesville, the other driver’s insurance company will contact crash victims, even as early as the day after the car accident. Insurance companies will try to obtain a recorded statement about the events of the accident, and information regarding your injuries.

Before you speak with a representative from an insurance company, you should protect yourself by calling Allen & Allen to discuss the situation. There is no legal obligation to provide a statement to insurance companies. If you choose to provide information, it may end up being used against you during the settlement process. If you do have a case, our experienced Charlottesville car accident lawyers can help you:

Collect the kind of evidence that may need to be presented in order to protect your claim and secure the appropriate compensation for your car accident injuries
Receive uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage and any medical payments coverage necessary from your own insurance company
Negotiate a fair settlement offer for damages received as a result of the car accident
Recover damages that you are entitled to from the negligent motorist’s insurance company

While the circumstances behind every car accident vary, often the time immediately following a crash is disorienting. Download our convenient Glove Compartment Quick Reference Guide to help you navigate the steps you should take following a car accident.

Case result from an Allen & Allen Charlottesville car accident lawyer
