Frequently asked questions
When should I speak with an attorney after a crash?
Prompt advice can help preserve evidence, identify all available insurance coverage, and prevent avoidable mistakes. The appropriate timing depends on the circumstances, but there is usually no advantage to waiting when an injury may be significant.
What if the other driver has limited or no insurance?
Your own policy may provide uninsured or underinsured motorist benefits. Coverage depends on the policy language, the vehicles and household members involved, and the facts of the loss.
Does a case have to go to trial?
Many claims resolve without trial, but careful trial preparation often improves the quality of the presentation and the ability to evaluate any settlement proposal.
