Frequently Asked Questions
"Your case our priority"
-
What should I do if involved in an accident?If you are injured in an automobile accident, you should seek immediate medical attention. If the other driver is at fault and you wish to make a claim for personal injuries, you should contact an attorney who specializes in personal injury as soon as possible.
-
Who will take care of my medical bills?You are entitled to recover your reasonable and necessary medical expenses caused by the at fault driver. However, most insurance companies do not pay medical expenses as you treat. Medical expenses will be included in the final one time settlement.
