Car Wreck Lawyer
Insurance companies move fast after a wreck — often before you know the full extent of your injuries. Here’s what to do, and how comparative negligence rules can affect your claim.
What to do after a wreck
- Get medical care, even if you feel fine
- Document the scene & get a police report
- Avoid giving a recorded statement to insurers before speaking with a lawyer
- Keep records of every expense & missed workday
Comparative negligence
Most of our states apply a comparative negligence rule — your compensation can be reduced by your share of fault, and some states bar recovery entirely past a certain threshold. We fight to minimize any fault attributed to you.
