How To Settle A Car Accident Claim Without A Lawyer by autoremedy365: 1:22pm On Dec 27, 2022
How to settle a car accident claim without a Lawyer ; In the wake of an auto accident, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed by the process. You may not be sure what steps you should take next or even how to go about settling your claim with the other driver’s insurance company. The truth is that you don’t need a lawyer for every step of this process, as long as you follow some simple guidelines for collecting evidence and making a claim. We’ve put together a list of these steps below:

Get the Details of the Accident Together and Call Your Insurance Company

Get the Details of the Accident Together and Call Your Insurance Company. After an accident, you should collect information about what happened. This is important because it will help you decide whether or not to hire a lawyer. Here are some things you should write down:

The name and contact information for the other driver involved in your accident (if there was only one other driver involved)
The name and contact information for any witnesses to the accident
The names and contact information for any passengers in your car (if there were any passengers)
The names and contact information for any passengers in the other car (if there were any passengers).

Collect Information Regarding the Accident

The first step in settling your claim is to gather as much information regarding the accident as possible. In order to do this, you need to find out if there are any witnesses who saw what happened (or at least heard it), obtain the name and contact information of the other driver’s insurance company, and get a copy of any police report that was filed.

Calculate and Document All Damages

First, you need to get an estimate for the cost of repairing the damage. If this involves having a mechanic look at your car, make sure you take photos of the damage before having them start repairs.
Next, calculate how much money you lost from being unable to work during treatment and recovery/dealing with insurance claims.
Finally, figure out how much pain and suffering was caused by the accident (if any). You can do this by asking yourself questions like:
How long did it take me to recover?
How badly was my injury affected?
Did I ever go back to the same job? If not, why not?
