LET RICK ANSWER YOUR AUTO WRECK QUESTIONS

• What should I do right after an accident?

  First, seek medical attention immediately for your injuries. Call the police. Take pictures if you safely can, get the other driver's insurance information, and witness names. Don't rush into a recorded statement before you know your rights. If you want us to look at what happened, request a free case evaluation.

• Who pays my medical bills after a car wreck?

  Depending on what state you are in, different insurance coverage may apply. Sometimes your own policy helps first. Sometimes the other driver's insurance is responsible. Don't assume you're on the hook just because the bills are showing up. If you were hurt, we can review it for free and help figure out what coverage may be available.

• What if the insurance company says I was partly at fault?

  Don't assume you don't have a case just because the insurance company says you were partly at fault. Fault depends on the facts, and if you're hurt, let us review it before taking the insurance company's word for it.

• How do I know if my car wreck case is worth anything?

  People ask me all the time, 'Is my case worth anything?' Well, it depends on a few things. Were you hurt? Did you need treatment? Miss work? Still in pain? A lot of people worry about attorney fees. I understand that. But in many cases, getting help can put you in a better position than trying to deal with the insurance company by yourself. You don't have to figure that out alone. Hit the button, tell us what happened, and let us review it for free.

• How long do I have to make a claim?

  Every state has deadlines, and they matter. People wait too long thinking they have plenty of time. If you were hurt, don't wait. Request a free case evaluation now, and let's see what deadlines apply.

• What if I was a passenger and my driver caused the wreck?

  If you were a passenger, don't assume you don't have a claim just because the driver you were with may have caused it. Passengers weren't in control. You may still have rights against one or more insurance policies. If you were hurt as a passenger, hit the button and let us review it for free.
