As an experienced personal injury lawyer, I am always looking for certain information when reviewing a case to see if it is worth pursuing. The first thing I need is a crash report, if one is available. If not, a statement from my client about what happened is the next best thing. This is because in some cases, law enforcement does not show up or is unable to determine who was at fault.
To get started on a car accident case, we need some key information from both the potential client and the at-fault party. This includes insurance card, policy information, or claim number from both parties insurance company. With this, we can review coverage and see if there is a case to be made.
Some injuries are immediately apparent, while others may not be discovered until later. In either case, it’s important to seek legal counsel as soon as possible. An experienced attorney can help you navigate the claims process and ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve.
