Here’s How We Handle Your Car Accident Case

Our Approach to Car Accident Cases

Here’s what we do in our car accident cases to ensure the best outcome for you:

1. Investigate the Crash

• Obtain the police report.
• Talk to witnesses.
• Document car damage.
• Photograph the accident scene.
• Interview you and any passengers about the incident.

2. Communicate with Insurance Companies

• We handle communications with the insurance company on your behalf.
• We advise against giving recorded statements to the other driver’s insurance company. Insurance adjusters often look for ways to deny or limit legitimate injury claims.

3. Assess Your Situation

• We understand that you might be in pain, taking medication, and worried about medical treatment, health, and finances. Managing appointments and missed work can be overwhelming.
• You might not be in the best frame of mind to be interviewed by an insurance adjuster until much later in the process.

4. Determine Insurance Coverage and Case Timeline

• We investigate all potential sources of recovery and insurance coverage.
• If the driver who hit you was working at the time, their employer and their insurance company may be responsible.
• If the driver is uninsured or underinsured, we explore your underinsured or uninsured motorist coverage to ensure you receive compensation.

5. Guide Your Medical Treatment and Return to Work

• Unlike some D.C. personal injury lawyers, we don’t send you to specific doctors or clinics for evaluation and treatment.
• We can recommend doctors who have successfully treated our clients, but we want you to be comfortable with your medical care and your relationship with your doctors.

6. Evaluate Your Case for Settlement

• We keep you informed every step of the way.
• Settlement includes compensation for medical expenses, lost income, permanent injuries, future medical treatment, and pain and suffering.
• We analyze medical records and treatment immediately and communicate with the insurance company to avoid surprises.
• Your case is continuously analyzed for settlement to provide you with options on how and when to resolve your case, even if we file a lawsuit.

7. Support and Communication

• We prioritize great communication and regularly update you on your case and check in on your well-being.
• We choose to work with people we genuinely care about and are interested in helping.

By following this approach, we strive to make the legal process as smooth and supportive as possible, allowing you to focus on your recovery.

You may have other insurance benefits. For example, if the accident happened while you were on the job, you may be eligible for workers’ compensation. Additionally, you or your employer may have long-term disability benefits.

Let us take away the stress, anxiety, and uncertainty in the legal process after a serious car accident so you can focus on getting better.
