Filing a personal injury claim for injuries suffered in a car accident is a fairly straightforward process and includes the following:
Notifying the insurance company of the accident.
Providing an attorney’s letter of legal representation to the driver’s insurance company.
Assessing your damages and calculating the value of your claim.
Issuing a demand letter to the insurance company requesting the total cost of damages.
Negotiating with the insurance company to reach a mutually agreeable settlement.
Moving to trial if settlement negotiations fail.
Although you are not required to hire a lawyer for a car accident claim, legal representation can help you fare much better and recover more compensation.
