Insurance Challenges After a Crash
How an Attorney Levels the Playing Field
After an accident, insurance companies often act quickly to limit payouts, sometimes blaming the victim or offering settlements far below what a case is worth. Wisconsin drivers also face the possibility of uninsured or underinsured motorists, leaving them unsure how to cover medical expenses and lost wages. Having an experienced attorney ensures that your claim is valued fairly and handled correctly. Robert Erdmann deals directly with insurers on your behalf, allowing you to focus on your health while he negotiates and, if necessary, prepares to take your case to trial.
Questions About Motor Vehicle Accident Claims
What Clients Commonly Ask After a Crash
What should I do immediately after a car accident?
First, call the police and seek medical attention, even if injuries seem minor. If it is safe, gather information from the other driver, take photos of the scene, and speak to witnesses. Avoid giving recorded statements to insurance companies before talking to an attorney. These steps help protect both your health and your legal rights.
How long do I have to file an accident injury claim in Wisconsin?
Most personal injury claims must be filed within three years of the accident date. There are exceptions depending on the circumstances, so it’s important not to delay seeking advice. Evidence is easier to collect and preserve when action is taken early. Consulting a lawyer right away helps ensure important deadlines are met.
What if the other driver is uninsured or fled the scene?
If the at-fault driver has no insurance or leaves the scene in a hit-and-run, you may still be covered under your own uninsured motorist policy. These claims can be complex, requiring proof of what occurred and detailed negotiations with your insurance provider. Having an attorney who understands these claims can make the difference in securing compensation.
How much is my auto accident case worth?
The value of a case depends on several factors, including the severity of injuries, medical expenses, lost income, and the impact on daily life. Pain and suffering, as well as long-term care needs, may also be included. Because every case is different, an attorney evaluates the full picture to determine what compensation may be appropriate.
