Being involved in an automobile accident is often a scary and stressful event. The situation typically only gets worse in the days that follow, as victims face the daunting task of having to deal with their employer while they are ordered off work, deal with very experienced insurance adjusters and get to doctor’s appointments without a vehicle. And all while dealing with painful and debilitating injuries.

We often receive phone calls from victims who have many questions about auto accidents. The number one question is: “What are my rights?”

What Your Rights Are

If you were injured in a car accident and the other driver was at fault, you may be entitled to compensation for:

1. Damage to your car and a rental car while your car is being fixed or is unsafe to drive;

2. Medical expenses and prescription costs;

3. Lost wages and/or lost earning capacity;

4. Physical and mental pain and suffering; and

5. Other types of compensation.

Do not be fooled. The insurance adjusters, even the nice ones, are looking out for the insurance company, not you.

You DO NOT have to give a recorded or written statement to the other driver’s insurance company. Any statement you give can be used against you.

You DO NOT have to sign a Medical Release prior to making a claim with the negligent driver’s insurance company.

Victims who try to deal with serious injury claims without the guidance of an attorney often make common mistakes that damage and decrease the value of their case.

At Reed Law Offices, we have a significant advantage over other personal injury law firms. Our founder, attorney Shayla Reed, started her legal career as an attorney for auto insurance companies. Thus, she knows first-hand the tactics they use to reduce and deny car accident claims. Few, if any, other law firms have this significant advantage.
