What makes car accident cases different

  • 1

  • 2

    Your state's fault rule can reduce or bar your recovery if you share any blame.

  • 3

    Policy limits often cap what you can realistically collect from the other driver.

Checklist

Evidence to save now

  • Police crash report number
  • Photos of vehicles, the scene and your injuries
  • Names and phone numbers of witnesses
  • Medical records and bills from the first visit onward
  • All letters and emails from any insurance company
