Yes. But the more useful question is what to photograph, because the gap between what most people capture and what actually matters in an insurance dispute or personal injury case is wide enough to drive a truck through. The instinct most drivers have at an accident scene is to photograph the damage to their own […]

There is a particular kind of dread that comes with realizing, days or weeks after a car accident, that you are getting worse instead of better. You had a plan. You would rest, let things settle, give your body time to recover. Instead, the headache that started mild is now constant. The neck stiffness you […]

One of the most disorienting aspects of being in a car accident is that the physical consequences do not always arrive on the same timeline as the event that caused them. A person can walk away from a collision feeling shaken but functional, go home, sleep, and wake up the following morning in a degree […]

The other driver hit you and drove away. Maybe it happened fast, before you had time to react. Maybe you saw them pause and then accelerate. Maybe you caught part of a license plate or maybe you caught nothing at all, just a make and color disappearing around a corner while you sat with the […]

An admission of fault at the scene of a car accident feels like the clearest possible resolution to the question of who caused it. The other driver says it was their fault. You heard them say it. Maybe a witness heard them say it. It seems like the kind of statement that should end a […]

But the way you do it, which providers you request from, what you ask for specifically, and how you review what you receive before […]

You have just been in an accident that was not your fault. You followed every step correctly. You called the police, you documented the scene, you stayed calm, and you collected the other driver’s information. Then you called your insurance company or ran the other driver’s policy through the verification process and discovered that the […]

You want to know what your case is worth. That’s a completely reasonable thing to want, and the fact that nobody will give you a straight answer is one of the most frustrating parts of being on this side of a car accident. Attorneys hedge. Insurance adjusters offer numbers without explaining them. The internet gives […]

Every year, roughly 6 million car accidents occur on U.S. roads. Most drivers believe they know what to do when one happens. Call 911, exchange information, contact insurance. Simple enough. But the gap between what people think they should do and what actually protects their health, finances, and legal rights is wider than most realize. […]
