What to do when interacting with insurance companies:

• Speak with our Fort Lauderdale auto accident attorneys to advise you on how to deal with your and the other party's insurer
• Speak with your insurance company and let them know you were in a car accident. You should take notes of every conversation with them
• Read your insurance policy so you can know what you are covered for. An attorney can help you understand your policy
• Collect information on the insurance company from anyone else involved in the accident along with their personal contact information
• Hold on to any receipts or records that can apply to your insurance claim so you can ensure you are being fully compensated for your expenses

What not to do:

• Do not make a statement to the other party’s insurance company. Whatever you say can come back to hurt you.
• Do not give the insurance company any written information about your accident, either yours or the other party’s involved
• Do not wait to file your claim after your accident. You may exceed the statute of limitations if you wait too long
• Do not sign anything such as a release, waiver, or any document without consulting with our firm which may sing away your rights
• Do not take any money as it may be less than your case deserves
