Injuries from a car accident don’t have to ruin your life. Our experienced injury attorneys will fight to make sure you receive the compensation you deserve.
Do you know your rights after a car accident? Do you have to talk to the insurance companies? Do you have to give a recorded statement? Are you entitled to compensation for your loss of income? What about your pain and suffering? Can you tell the insurance companies that they need to deal with your attorney?
After a car accident, knowing your rights is critical to securing just compensation for your injury-related losses. Despite the promises you hear on television, when you need money after a collision, the insurance companies do not have your best interests in mind. Their sole priority is to protect their profits, and they will do this by just about any means necessary. If you let the insurance companies dictate the outcome of your claim, the only thing you can know for certain is that you will receive less than you are owed.
At Munley Law Personal Injury Attorneys, we stand up to insurance companies on behalf of our clients. We negotiate aggressively for full compensation – and when insurance companies refuse to settle, we take them to court. With decades of experience, we have successfully represented thousands of clients, and we have a proven track record of collecting the compensation car accident victims deserve.

FAQs: Protecting Your Rights After a Car Accident
Q: How can a lawyer help with my car accident insurance claim?
After a car accident involving serious injuries, you need to protect your legal rights. The physical, financial, and emotional toll of your injuries can impact your life in ways you could not have previously imagined. In fact, most accident victims do not realize the true scope of their losses until some time has passed. An experienced car accident lawyer will be able to:
● Make sure you receive the medical treatment required for your recovery
● Calculate your current and future losses
● Deal with the insurance companies on your behalf
● Help you avoid mistakes that could jeopardize your financial recovery
● Prepare your case for trial if the insurance companies refuse to settle for just compensation
Q: The driver who hit me said he didn’t have insurance. What are my options?
If the driver who hit you claims to be uninsured, the first thing to do is confirm that this is accurate. It may be that he or she simply does not want the accident reported to his or her insurance company. But if it turns out that you were injured by an uninsured driver, you may still have a few options available. These could include:
● Seeking personal injury protection (PIP) coverage under your auto insurance policy
● Filing an uninsured/underinsured motorist (UIM) claim if you purchased this additional insurance
● Identifying a third party (such as a vehicle manufacturer or repair shop) that is fully or partially responsible for your accident
Q: What if I was partially at fault in the accident?
After a car accident it is easy to second-guess yourself. If you’ve been dealing with the insurance companies, they have likely been trying to convince you that you played a role in the accident. But it is critically important that you don’t let anyone convince you that you were at fault. Proving fault in a car accident is complicated, and it requires a thorough analysis of the specific facts and laws that are relevant to your case.
