When the worst happens, and you’re left injured after an accident, you will likely turn to an insurance company to help you cover the enormous costs associated with your crash injuries. We expect insurers to be a “on our side,” and “on our side,” as they promise in their commercials. Unfortunately, insurers can be difficult to work with, oftentimes creating more headaches and frustrations than the actual accident.
At The Attkisson Law Firm in Dayton, Ohio, we know the tactics insurance companies use to avoid paying out the full extent of a policy after a motor vehicle collision or another accident that results in a serious injury. We’re reputable for holding insurers accountable for the promises they make in a policy. We will put everything on the line for you to make sure you’re not left worrying more about how you’re going to pay your bills rather than whether you’re recovering properly or not.

Insurance companies are awful. There’s no right or wrong way to do everything after an accident, but there are some things that should be done.
First, the authorities should be alerted. You should have the police come to the scene and make a report so everything is documented. In most cases, your own insurance company will want a police report, or they may not honor a claim.
If you’re injured, you need documentation of those injuries. If it’s an emergency, go to the emergency room and get checked out. Tell them what hurts and explain what happened in the accident so your injuries and complaints are documented.
It’s also important to get pictures and gather evidence. In disputed liability cases, witnesses can be critical. If someone ran a red light and hit you, it may become your word against the other driver’s. Make sure witness information is gathered and included in the crash report so statements can be obtained later.
After an accident, you will likely have many questions about how to deal with the aftermath. One of the most important things you’ll need to do is file an insurance claim with the company that insures the at-fault driver.
The purpose of an insurance claim is to receive compensation for damages caused by another driver’s negligence. This can include damage to your vehicle, medical expenses, lost wages, and more.
If you were injured in a car accident, it is important that you understand your rights and how to protect yourself from being taken advantage of by an insurance company.
