car accidents in the USA

The level of insurance required in differing states varies.  Whilst the insurance can be very low, the effect can mean a quick resolution to the right sort of claim.  Naturally, claims involving more serious injuries can take longer to resolve.

This means you need expert advice about whether it is worthwhile pursuing a claim because it may depend the financial strength of the driver against whom you are claiming.

how quickly should I claim?

You should contact us as soon as possible after the accident to ensure you claim within the relevant time limit. Time limits vary according to the type of accident and the state in which it occurred so it is very important to act quickly.

funding your claim – the best option for you

We will discuss all funding options with you, most personal injury claims can be persued at no cost to you. You may have legal expenses insurance on your travel insurance, house insurance, or on your car insurance. Trade union membership sometimes includes legal expenses insurance.
