After a crash and significant injury, you deserve the right to file a claim to pursue compensation. Unfortunately, you might need to deal with insurance companies that put profits first. Because there are potential obstacles along the way, it’s crucial to recognize how you can protect your claim and your rights while moving forward.
Protecting your claim means getting the right evidence and help when it matters most. Below, we will explain what you can do to help yourself throughout the process.
Getting the Right Documents
Filing a claim starts with having the right documents before you start the process. The stuff you collect immediately after the crash goes a long way towards helping you hold the right party accountable. Here are some of the documents you should get:
- The other driver’s license
- The other driver’s insurance card
- The other driver’s contact information
If you believe someone else is at fault for your damages, having their contact information allows you to start your claim effectively.
Getting the Right Evidence
Photos can prove to be some of the best evidence in your situation. Take pictures of the accident scene, the vehicles involved, and your injuries. Accident reconstructionists can use these pictures to help build your claim, so be sure to gather as much as possible.
Working with a Lawyer
Make sure you contact a lawyer as soon as possible after a crash. Never assume that insurance companies will be looking out for your best interests. Instead, hire a professional to help you navigate the process in the most effective manner possible.
