The articles below contain information about how car accident claims are calculated. If you have been in a car accident, however, especially a serious one, contact a car accident lawyer. It’s not a time to take matters into your own hands. Doing so could easily cost you thousands of dollars. In fact, depending on the case, it could cost you tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.
That said, the articles below are good resources for those interested in learning more about the process of calculating the value of a car accident case.
First, the accident happens. Whether major or minor, if you need to know about calculating car accident claims, the accident has been reported to insurance. The worse the collision, the sooner and more aggressively the insurance company may try to settle with you. Then, fearing you may be getting taken advantage of, or simply knowing the ways of the world, you try to figure out how much the injuries might be worth. You come to AccidentValues. You use our car accident calculator to determine the value of your claim.
After seeing a rough estimate, you likely decide to find a car accident lawyer. We help you find an honest, dependable, top rated lawyer for your case. The case is either settled or you file a lawsuit. (Or you fil a lawsuit, then the case gets settled.) You receive compensation for your damages. See the articles below for more specifics.
