you can not get the most of your money without a lawyer.
Your only real option is to shop around for an attorney who will take the smallest percentage of the settlement. And unfortunately, you probably won’t see near the money (if any) if you don’t hire an attorney to handle the case for you.
Since the liability is clear you can work with the insurance company best by looking at what your losses were. Vehicle damage, loss of use of vehicle, loss of work, and injuries that you may have had….also the loss of the value of the vehicle even if it is repaired a vehicle having been involved in an accident has a depresiated value. Try insure. com they have all kinds of resorces for information for consumers.
For injuries you will have to see a doctor however the insurance company will only go by the input from a professional.
P.S. Never go with the first offer.
threaten to sue, then settle.
uh you did it wrong
u need a injury to go to the doc then to get a lawyer
= money
so if not then get ready to wrestle with the fuucking insurance company. those asssholes
as you can see i have had my share of accidents
1 in the last 3 yrs and it wasnt my fault
took me over a month to get my car back
nightmare
If you didn’t suffer substantial injury and/or lost time from work, don’t hold your breath waiting for a windfall. You get money only on the basis of your injury, pain and suffering, and damage to your car. And you have to have proof of it. To prove that you have an injury you need a doctor’s verification. And if you feel you have cause for legal redress, unless you know and understand the law, and can state your case in court, you need a lawyer. Chances are, your insurance company will do a fine job of handling things.
Don’t use a lawyer. Handle it yourself especially if it’s not your fault
If you are absolutely certain you can easily prove the other driver was at fault, you can skip the lawyer and go straight to the insurer. Present them with the bills and offer to settle for an honestly reasonable amount.
Be as nice and as persistent as possible. If you are pleasant about it and insistent, you will find you will not only get more money, but you’ll get it a LOT faster.
The stats show without a lawyer you get about the same money but get it a year quicker.
