How to File a Car Insurance Claim

Jan 9, 2020

Accident victims recovering from serious injuries do not have the energy or time to learn how to file a car insurance claim. Loved ones of the accident victim are often too upset to even think about filing a car insurance claim. Austin LRS is here to help accident victims and their loved ones get the legal assistance they need. We put them in contact with expert attorneys specializing in litigating car accident insurance claim settlement.

What Is Involved with Filing a Car Insurance Claim?

It is not nearly as difficult to file a car insurance claim with your own insurance company as it is to get the at-fault driver’s insurance company to pay you for damages. You will also need a lawyer if the at-fault driver has no auto insurance or their company refuses to settle to file a counterclaim.

Courts require submission of numerous legal documents proving the other driver caused your injuries. Filing these documents on time is important to ensure your case gets to court. Your case could be dismissed if you miss filing deadlines.

Police, medical, witness and other relevant reports are essential for proving your case. It can be stressful for someone recovering from injuries to gather this information. An attorney referral provided by Austin LRS eliminates the stress involved with filing a car insurance claim.

What Is a Car Accident Insurance Claim Settlement?

Be aware that auto and all other insurance companies have one goal when confronted with an accident claim: to pay out as little, if anything, as possible.

Never sign car accident insurance claim settlements before consulting with an attorney. What you think is a reasonable amount offered by an insurance agency may be the farthest thing from reasonable. Personal injury attorneys are skilled in litigating a car insurance claim so that their client receives the highest compensation amount possible.

Car insurance claim lawyers will also consult with attending physicians to obtain clinical reports indicating the need for future medical treatment. If your injuries are temporarily disabling and require ongoing treatment, your attorney may file a counterclaim. Counterclaims typically involve substantial increases to the amount of compensation an insurance agency originally offered.
