If You are in an Auto Wreck...
- NEVER say that it is your fault. Our Chicago car accident attorneys know that this sounds questionable, but the lay definition of "fault" and the legal definition are often different from each other. If the case goes to court, this admission can (and will) come back to haunt you.
- Contact the police and make sure that they create an accurate police report.
- Contact your own insurance company and file an insurance claim. They can assist you in getting your car repaired and will be able to explain whether you should submit medical bills to them or your group health insurance.
- Call the law firm of Francis J. Discipio, Ltd. Our car accident attorneys have been helping car accident injury victims for fifteen years. Car repair and medical bills can be overwhelming. When faced with stacks of medical bills, most people are unaware as to who is liable for the initial payments. Do not let unpaid bills pile up and destroy your credit or ability to obtain future medical treatment. We can and will assist you in getting your medical bills taken care of by the proper entities to ensure you get the necessary treatment for your injuries. Whether you were in a car crash, motorcycle accident or truck accident, we can help.
- DON'T contact the other side's insurance carrier or discuss the facts of the accident when they contact you. Again, you may say things that could come back to haunt you. Let us contact the other side. With our experience and skill in dealing with insurance companies, we can tell your story in the best possible light. We can also increase your chances of getting fair compensation when appropriate.
The sooner you contact a qualified lawyer, the better your chances for an equitable recovery.
