Call 586-755-2900 if you have been involved in an auto accident, even if you were a passenger or pedestrian. Evidence is quickly lost while people wait to speak with an attorney. There are extensive rules that limit damages to auto accident injury claimants. For that reason, auto insurance companies quickly deploy insurance investigators and claims managers to access information to defend any future claim and secret the information into adjuster files and claim files. Call 586-755-2900 to speak to an attorney about your case.
Although auto accidents usually generate a Uniform Traffic Crash Report (known as a “UD10″) as well as a police report and / or a fire or EMS report, ambulance report and other reports, including hospital records, witness memories quickly fade, and reports often get lost, not finalized or not entered. It is important to get a trained professional to quickly access and preserve available evidence, which is typically done by providing notice of a claim by an attorney.
