How An Auto Accident Claim Works

When you are hurt in a car wreck or because of someone’s negligence, you'll file a claim with the other liable party's insurance provider.

Your claim should request that the insurance company cover your:

  • Medical bills
  • Vehicle repairs or property damage
  • And other related expenses

In the tragic event that you are filing a wrongful death claim on behalf of a loved one, you can get reimbursed for funeral expenses and other related expenses.

The insurance company will usually offer you a settlement. However, most of the time, the insurance company’s offer is much lower than you deserve.

In both cases, the settlement offer isn’t enough to pay for the expenses the accident has cost you, leaving you to pay for the damages yourself.

That’s why the legal team at the Biggs & Greenslade Law Firm is here to support you. We'll build a compelling case, win you a fair settlement, and help get your life back to normal.

What Do I Do After A Car Accident?

Call the police

No matter how minor the vehicle accident may be, it is always best to call the police. You may not have to file an insurance claim in every scenario, but failing to call the police may cause problems down the line. If someone is injured, failing to notify the police is illegal.

If you get caught or if the other driver later reports you, you could face criminal charges.

Seek medical attention

It is very common for accident victims to feel little or no pain until several days or even weeks after a car wreck. Even if you are not in pain, it is best to call your primary care doctor to ensure everything is ok.

Seeing a doctor also creates a medical record of the accident, which is essential if you end up needing to file a lawsuit.

Do not apologize

Please do not apologize after you get into an accident. This is about liability, not manners. You can certainly be kind, but apologizing, even out of habit, can be counted as claiming fault and responsibility for the accident.

Take pictures

To get an accurate record of the damages, you should take pictures of the accident scene, damages to your vehicle, and any visible injuries of your body. You can take a picture of the other vehicle’s license plate too, but never request to take a picture of their driver’s license or allow them to capture yours. Doing so compromises your personal information.

Unmatched Legal Expertise

John Greenslade, one of our personal injury lawyers for Longview, TX, defended insurance firms for eight years at the beginning of his career. He understands:

  • How insurance companies prepare for a case
  • The minimal settlements they offer
  • And the strong cases they can present to keep you from receiving the restitution you deserve

In other words, John is more equipped than any other personal injury lawyer in the Longview area to fight insurance companies.

Our other attorney, Kenneth Biggs, was an Assistant District Attorney for years before becoming a personal injury lawyer.

Very few injury attorneys have much jury trial experience because most cases are settled outside of court. So on the rare occasion when a settlement is taken to court, many attorneys are not prepared. As a former prosecutor, Biggs has the trial experience you want on your side.

Here are just a few of the many reasons clients in Longview, TX choose Biggs & Greenslade as their lawyers to represent them:

  • Get the highest settlement possible by hiring skilled personal injury or car accident lawyers to handle your case.
  • Work with an experienced lawyer who knows how to successfully negotiate with insurance companies.

Maximize Your Settlement

It’s no secret that insurance companies usually short-change injured victims. However, few victims realize that these low-ball settlement offers can be disputed. Many people do not understand all they are entitled to receive or how to negotiate with an insurance company.

Hiring a personal injury lawyer to handle your claim can increase your total settlement offer by an average of 300%, according to a survey by Nolo.com. If you've been in a car wreck, the lawyers at Biggs & Greenslade know what you deserve and can develop the most persuasive argument to make sure you get it.

Your total settlement amount should take into account both monetary and non-monetary losses you suffered in the accident.

Monetary losses are hard costs that have a real monetary value, such as:

  • Medical care
  • Vehicle repairs
  • Unearned income from missing work
  • And other hard costs

Non-monetary losses do not have a definite dollar value but should still be considered when calculating your total restitution amount, such as:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Trauma from the accident
  • Mental and psychological suffering
  • And other non-monetary damages
