Welcome back, this is Kendra Sanchez reporting for KSDN News, your local source for news in sunny Coronado. Today, we’re joined by Richard Morse, the esteemed attorney at Morse Injury Law. Richard, thanks for taking the time to speak with us today.
Richard, let’s discuss one of the crucial steps after a car accident – Investigation and Claim Filing. Can you walk our viewers through this process?
Gathering Evidence and Building a Strong Case
Certainly, Kendra. After seeking immediate medical attention, it’s vital to initiate the investigation and claim filing process promptly. Ordinarily, this begins with collecting all relevant evidence. Our team at Morse Injury Law meticulously gathers police reports, witness statements, photographic evidence of the accident scene and vehicle damage, and comprehensive medical records documenting the extent of your injuries.
We understand that navigating insurance claims can be overwhelming, especially when dealing with physical and emotional trauma following an accident. Consequently, we handle all communication with insurance companies on behalf of our clients, ensuring their rights are protected and they receive fair compensation for their losses.
Demand Letter: A Formal Request for Compensation
Once we’ve compiled a solid body of evidence, we draft a detailed demand letter to the responsible party’s insurance company. This letter outlines the specifics of the accident, establishes liability, and clearly states the amount of compensation we are seeking on your behalf. The demand letter serves as a formal request for resolution and sets the stage for negotiation.
It’s important to remember that insurance companies are businesses focused on minimizing payouts. Accordingly, they may initially offer a settlement that falls short of adequately compensating you for your injuries, lost wages, and other damages. Our experienced legal team is skilled in negotiating with insurance adjusters to secure the best possible outcome for our clients.
Speaking of outcomes, a study published by the Insurance Research Council found that claimants represented by attorneys received settlements that were an average of 3.5 times higher than those who represented themselves. This highlights the significant value of having legal representation during the claims process.
Richard, have you encountered any particular challenges during the investigation and claim filing phase?
Every case is unique, Kendra, but I recall a situation where crucial evidence was initially overlooked. A client had been in a hit-and-run accident, and while they provided a detailed description of the vehicle, there were no witnesses. The police report lacked critical information about the at-fault driver. Through diligent investigation, our team discovered surveillance footage from a nearby business that captured the accident and clearly identified the fleeing vehicle.
This discovery was instrumental in proving liability and ultimately securing a favorable settlement for our client. It underscored the importance of leaving no stone unturned during the investigative phase.
