When pursuing compensation after a car accident, where should I start?
Following an accident, you will probably be wondering whether you should pursue an insurance claim for your losses. It’s important to not delay in making this determination. You will have a limited period of time to take action. In all reality, the longer you wait, the more challenging it may be to manage your case. Form the start, make sure that you gather all relevant information to your case such as the information of the other driver and eyewitness information. Additionally, you should make sure that you seek medical attention for your injuries. This will be key in proving that the injuries you suffered were the result of the car accident that you were in.
Am I eligible to obtain compensation after the accident?
If you are able to prove that the driver who hit you was negligent and at fault for the damages you have experienced, you may be able to obtain compensation. Should you pursue a personal injury claim, you must be able to prove the following elements:
- Duty of Care
- Breach of Duty of Care
- Damages
- Causation
We will work closely with you to gather evidence, submit the appropriate paperwork and negotiate a fair settlement with the insurance company.
What should I do if the first settlement offer is much less than expected?
