Spokane, Washington, Car Accident Lawyer

It is vital to the success of your case to proceed with your claims promptly after a car accident. If you fail to consult an attorney, you may be waiving certain rights. Bear in mind that insurance companies do not necessarily have your best interests in mind. Learn the best means of protecting your interests by e-mailing or calling the Peltram Law Offices in Spokane, Washington, for a free initial consultation.

The process of filing a personal injury insurance claim after a car accident can be frustrating. While each case is unique, there are definite things our firm encourages everyone to do following an accident, such as:

• Cooperate with the police
• Exchange all necessary information
• Give your insurance company notice of the accident
• Do not give your insurance company your medical records or an authorization to obtain records
• Consult an experienced personal injury lawyer

Although another driver lacks sufficient insurance to compensate you for your injuries, you may still have a course of action. The state of Washington requires that all insurance companies offer you uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage. If after an accident they cannot produce a signed waiver of this coverage, they may be liable to provide you such coverage. We will evaluate your insurance policy to determine what type of coverages to which you are entitled.

It is not easy dealing with the confusing legal process after being injured in a car accident. Uncooperative medical staff, appraisers, and insurance companies all make this process difficult. We will identify the issues and assist you throughout this process.
