The Best Way To Manage A Car Accident Claim

What is the best approach to managing an Auto Accident Injury?

Many people feel that handling an auto injury claim is simple and easy. At least that is what the auto insurance company of the person who caused the accident wants you to think. Typically the insurance company will initially act friendly and appear to want to help you with your claim. In actuality, they want to help you settle your claim . . . for as little money as possible. Even when they appear to be cooperative in offering either a small settlement, or a promise to pay medical bills, the reality is that there will be great resistance toward paying any medical bills you may incur . . . if you are trying to manage the claim by yourself.

The absolute best way to manage a claim involving $1500 of property damage or more (what the insurance industry determines to be the threshold for bodily injury) is to hire an attorney who is trained and experienced in properly managing and negotiating auto accident injury claims. When you hire an attorney, 2 major things occur; 1] The insurance carrier immediately takes your claim more seriously and recognizes that they cannot take advantage of you, and 2] Your stress levels drop significantly since you no longer have to answer a barrage of questions, send emails, faxes, or make phone calls, while you can relax with confidence that your attorney will manage your claim for you.

When your case is managed professionally by a competent attorney, you will receive the best medical care possible, receiving the quality and quantity of care that you need, and the financial aspects of your claim will be maximized, allowing you to be compensated for the pain and suffering your endured as a result of your injuries.

Choosing the right attorney is critical to your recovery, physically, mentally, and financially, and is the smartest way to manage an auto accident injury claim. That is where we can help. Our panel of experienced and powerful personal injury attorneys have decades of experience and skills that enable them to maximize the claims they manage for the benefit and protection of victims injured in car accidents here in San Diego.

What To Do If You’ve Been In A Car Accident

What To Do If You’ve Been In A Car Accident

• Always stop in a safe place (if possible) if you are involved in an accident, as this is your legal obligation. Even if you do not think there was any damage, any time you collide with something, you need to stop your car in a safe place if it is safe to move following a collision.
• Do not admit that you are at fault for the accident. Your insurance policy is a contract, and your contract for your insurance with your car insurance company states that you must not assume responsibility or liability under these circumstances. If you expect the insurance company to take care of your claim, let them do the talking.
• Assess the damages to the people involved, especially yourself, and take photos of the damaged areas of the vehicles. Be sure to maintain the safety of all involved by standing a safe distance away from other traffic and unsafe vehicles.
• Call 911 to report the accident. They will ask if an ambulance or paramedics are needed. If not, they may direct you to the local police department to file a report.
• Limit your conversation about the accident to the police, medical professional and your insurance company. Do not talk about details with the other party involved, and as mentioned above, do not admit any fault.
• Make a list of the facts on these 3 important subjects:
  1. The Accident Facts
     • How the Accident Occured
     • The date and time, road conditions, make and model of vehicles with license plates and VIN’s.
     • Names and badge # of Police officers at the scene.
     • Names and numbers of any witnesses present.
     • Photos of the damage to the vehicles.
  2. The Other Driver’s Facts
     • Name
     • Driver’s License Number
     • Address
     • Telephone Number
  3. The Other Driver's Insurance Facts
     • Insurance company name
     • Insurance policy number

You might want to print out this list to keep in your car, and keep it in your glove box with your car registration and proof of insurance, with a pen handy. In the unfortunate event of a car accident, at least you will be prepared to manage the damages, minimize risks of misrepresentation, and establish a good foundation for a legal case to recover the damages caused by the accident.

If you have further questions or need assistance in managing your injuries from a recent car accident claim, please contact the San Diego Auto Accident Specialists immediately at: 858-752-3996  We will help you get the medical and legal help you need to recover quickly and effectively.

What Happens To Your Body In A Car Accident Injury?

Feeling Painful, Stiff, Tired, Depressed, Anxious and Confused?

Car accident injuries are oftentimes high-impact, high-velocity traumatic events, causing extensive damage to the connective tissues of your spine, brain and nervous system, muscles, myofascia, ligaments, discs, tendons and joints. The neck (Whiplash), head (Concussion), and lower back (Disc Herniation) are the 3 most common regions of injury in a car accident. However, any body part can be affected, depending upon the mechanism of the injury. Whether it is your head, neck, shoulders, arms, hands, chest, abdomen, back, hips, legs or feet, all of these areas are significant when it comes to how you feel and function.

While musculoskeletal injuries to the neck and back are most often associated with auto accidents, injury to the brain from a car accident injury is often overlooked by non-specialized health practitioners. This is why it is vitally important for your to choose your medical providers carefully, as the diagnosis and treatment of motor vehicle collision injuries is a specialty, requiring additional medical training that goes far beyond the basic practitioner's medical school experience. The San Diego Auto Injury Specialists are specially trained and well experienced in the specialty of motor vehicle collision injuries, and are here to help you feel better fast by getting you the specialized care you need. 

Mild Traumatic Brain Injuries and Concussion too often go undiagnosed. They must be documented properly in order to be addressed and accounted for in the medical-legal process of settling your claim, as they have significant value to your case since they can be so significantly damaging to you and your ability to function.

Concussion is often a component of the injuries, due to the jolting back and forth or direct impact with the interior of the vehicle. This neuromusculoskeletal trauma can have severe debilitating effects and must be documented and managed by our medical experts as quickly as possible.
