The 4 Worse Mistakes When Filing a Car Accident Insurance Claim
You have just been involved in a car accident and you need help filing a car accident insurance claim. Seeing your car accident chiropractor for an initial examination is not the first thing on your mind. In this situation, you want to know who is going to pay to fix your damaged car. Most importantly you want to know who will be paying your medical bills.

Waiting too long when filing a car accident insurance claim
By all means, don’t wait too long to file a car accident insurance claim. With that in mind, don’t file an incomplete claim either. The time limit or statute of limitations that you have to file a claim varies from state to state. Ideally, you should file a claim as soon as possible. Then you should get an estimate for the damage to your vehicle.
Not seeing a doctor immediately after a car accident
After a car accident, you may feel completely fine. You might be unsure about who is going to pay for your doctor’s visit so you save yourself the cost and don’t go. Not all injuries are obvious, like a concussion. For this reason, it is even more important to seek immediate medical attention after your accident. If you don’t have any life-threatening injuries, you should get a physical evaluation right away by one of our experienced doctors of chiropractic at P.I. HELP Injury Clinics- The Car Accident Chiropractors in San Antonio, TX and Salt Lake City (Murray), UT. Finally, if you don’t see a doctor right away to an insurance adjuster it may look like your injuries really weren’t that severe.
Trying to represent yourself in a car accident insurance claim
Intending to save money on lawyer’s fees, sometimes people try to file and navigate their claim by themselves. This means going up against car insurance companies and their lawyers who handle car accident cases daily. They have far more experience in resolving cases quickly and to their advantage. At P.I. HELP Injury Clinics- The Car Accident Chiropractors in San Antonio, TX and Salt Lake City (Murray), UT, we can refer you to an experienced and trusted lawyer who understands the tricks of the car insurance companies and can advocate for you during the claims process.
Agreeing to an early settlement from the insurance company after a car accident
Soon after a car accident, you will most likely be contacted by a car insurance company that will offer you quick money to settle your case as soon as possible. Car insurance companies do this to avoid paying out more money. They also have you sign a release form to prevent you from moving forward with a lawsuit. With this intention, you may not be getting the money that you deserve to cover your medical expenses, lost wages, and other expenses.
