▶ Watch: First steps after car accident.
A detailed walkthrough of each step and why it matters.

Step 1:

Steps After Your Car Accident

Most people don't do all of these after an accident.
Here's what still matters — and what can still be recovered.

1. Get the police report

2. Gather existing documentation

3. Keep records of your care and treatment

4. Track the impact on your daily life and missed work
All of these increase your case value

5. Know your timeline — 2 years in Arizona

6. Before you talk to insurance — know your rights
You are not required to give a recorded statement before consulting an attorney.

Don't make these steps alone — get the full guide

Step 2:

How Insurance Claims Work

The insurance company is not on your side.

Here's what to expect — and what to watch out for.

1. An insurance company assigns someone to your case

2. They make an offer

It is a starting point, not a final number.

3. They may ask for a recorded statement

You are not required to give one before understanding your rights.

What you say can affect your claim.

4. They want you to sign quickly

Once you sign a settlement, the claim is closed permanently.

There is no going back.

Know what to say before insurance calls again

Step 3:

Do You Need an Attorney?

An attorney doesn't cost you money.

They make sure you don't leave money on the table.

1. An attorney knows what your case is worth

2. They handle everything

Communication with insurance, paperwork,

negotiations — all of it.

You focus on recovery.

3. They only get paid if you win

No upfront cost.

No hourly fees.

Their fee comes from the settlement —

only if there is one.

4. A free evaluation tells you exactly
where you stand — and what your options are.

Understand your options before making any decisions

I didn't know if I still had a case, what to say to the insurance company, or whether I even needed an attorney. The emails answered all of it, one step at a time. No pressure, just information I could actually use.
