Auto Accident FAQ






Why should I hire an auto accident lawyer to handle my claim?

It is very difficult to handle an auto accident claim alone. By obtaining an auto accident attorney to handle your claim, you will have a legal professional on your side who knows how to deal with insurance adjusters and insurance companies. Your attorney will fully investigate the auto accident and help show proof that the auto accident was not your fault. He or She will insure that you are receiving the appropriate medical attention to recover from your injury and once recovered, calculate the value of your claim.

Settlements reached through the aid of an experienced auto accident attorney are generally more substantial than settlements obtained by handling insurance companies on your own.





Should I call the police if I've been involved in an auto accident?

Yes. For your protection, you should always call the police after any auto accident or "fender bender", large or small. A police report is essential to your auto accident claim. A police report will show who the police believe is liable for the auto accident and provide all the details needed to file your auto accident claim. Those details could include insurance information from the other drivers, a list of passengers, or witnesses to the accident. Upon hiring Brumbaugh, Mu & King, P.A. to represent your auto accident claim, we will obtain the police report for you if you have not already done so.





What should I say to an insurance company adjuster if they contact me?

While many insurance adjusters may seem eager to help at first, please remember that their primary job is to save their insurance company as much money as possible and thus, they are not looking out for your best interests. If you have been contacted by an adjuster or have received documentation from the at fault insurance company, we advise you to call our auto accident specialists today for legal guidance and assistance with your claim! 





I thought I was fine after my accident but now I'm experiencing pain. Can I still receive treatment?

Many individuals injured during an auto accident do not feel their internal injuries until after the initial shock of the accident has passed, or until they've allowed their bodies to relax. Sometimes this can take up to an hour, to a few days, to occur. Thus, you should always seek medical attention after being involved in an auto accident or as soon as you realize you're suffering from injuries.

If you were not liable for the auto accident, you will be able to receive compensation for any medical costs and possibly even lost wages if placed out of work by your health care provider. An experienced auto accident attorney will protect your right to receive all appropriate and deserved benefits owed to you.
