Understanding the Importance of Investigation and Claim Filing After a Car Accident

Hello everyone, this is Bianca Alvarez reporting for Coronado News, your source for local happenings here in sunny Coronado. I’m joined today by Richard Morse, esteemed attorney at Morse Injury Law, who specializes in personal injury cases. Richard, thank you so much for being with us.

Richard, after someone has been injured in a car accident, what is the next crucial step they should take?

Bianca, it’s great to be here. After ensuring immediate medical attention, the next critical step is initiating a thorough investigation and filing a formal claim. This stage sets the foundation for your entire case. It involves gathering all necessary evidence to establish liability and substantiate the extent of your damages.

Ordinarily, we start by obtaining a copy of the police report. This document often contains vital information about the accident, such as witness statements and contributing factors. We also meticulously collect medical records and bills to demonstrate the nature and cost of your injuries. Photographs of the accident scene, vehicle damage, and any visible injuries are equally important.

Consequently, this evidence is crucial when crafting a compelling demand letter to send to the responsible party’s insurance company. The demand letter outlines the details of the accident, explains how their insured was at fault, and quantifies your damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering. This formal document serves as a starting point for negotiations.

I recall one instance where a client’s claim was initially denied by the insurance company because they argued insufficient evidence existed to prove liability. However, through diligent investigation, we uncovered dashcam footage from a nearby vehicle that clearly showed the other driver running a red light. This crucial piece of evidence ultimately compelled the insurance company to reverse their decision and offer a fair settlement.

According to the Insurance Research Council, nearly 60% of personal injury claims are settled out of court. This highlights the importance of having a skilled attorney who can effectively gather evidence, build a strong case, and negotiate with insurance companies on your behalf.

Richard, thank you so much for sharing that valuable insight.
