Initially, the Virginia State Police or police department where your accident took place will investigate your crash. But the insurance company for the other driver will likely conduct its own investigation. That's why it's critical you have someone on your side who knows how to find evidence and can use that information to build a strong case. That's why you need us.

Do not talk to the driver or answer any questions from the other driver's insurance company. Remember, any statements (verbal or written) you make to the other driver or the other driver's insurance company could be used to reduce compensation or deny your claim. If you are contacted by the other driver or his insurance company, politely decline to comment. Then contact us. We can deal directly with insurance companies for the at fault party and protect your rights. 

Yes. Almost all insurance companies require prompt notice, regardless of who is at fault. However, you should be careful what you say. Stick to the bare facts. Provide general background information such as the date, time, location of the accident and the names and addresses of everyone involved. Don't discuss fault until after you consult with an attorney. Even though your insurance company represents you, there are times where your insurance company can actively work to deny your claim, especially if the other driver doesn't have insurance or you're a victim of a hit-and-run accident. That's why it's wise to consult with an attorney as soon as possible. 

In most cases where the other driver is at fault, representatives of the insurance company representing the other driver will determine how much money you will receive for your accident. Insurance adjusters and investigators base their decision on a wide range of factors, including the police report for your accident and statements made by you, the other driver, any passengers or witnesses. That's why it's critical you have us on your side, communicating directly with the other insurance company. We know what words or phrases can potentially raise a red flag. And we know how to successfully negotiate on your behalf for the money you rightfully deserve.

No. If someone from the other driver's insurance company contacts you about your accident, don't answer his questions. Also, don't provide any written or recorded statements. If you have hired an attorney, give the lawyer's contact information to the insurance company. If you have not hired an attorney, decline to make any comments. Contact Davis, Davis, Davis & Davis, PC, and give us the name of the insurance company. If we represent you, we can contact them on your behalf. Remember, an insurance company's questions might seem simple or straightforward. But in many cases, insurance adjusters and investigators will do everything they can to pay injury victims as little as possible. That's not right. That's why we work so hard on such cases.

Yes. In many cases, filing a lawsuit might be the best way to get the money you deserve, especially if the insurance company for the other driver made a low-ball offer that doesn't cover the true cost of your accident. Remember, you didn't do anything wrong. You shouldn't have to pay for someone else's mistakes.
