How to File a Car Accident Insurance Claim

 Posted on March 23, 2025 in Personal Injury

Loudoun County, VA personal injury attorneyHave you been struck and injured in a car accident? If so, you may have grounds to file a claim for compensation against the other driver. Filing a claim can be quite complicated, and if you do not know your rights, you risk stumbling into common pitfalls. A Maryland car accident lawyer can walk you through the steps of taking legal action.

At Whitlock Law, LLC, we have the resources and experience to support clients who have been injured in car accidents. When you work with our firm, you can rest assured that we will not take an easy settlement for less than what your claim is worth.

Get The Other Driver’s Insurance Information

After a crash, you may be left reeling from shock and pain. However, the actions you take after a collision are arguably some of the most important parts of the process of filing a claim.

If it is safe to do so, you should make contact with the other driver and pull over somewhere away from traffic. Though it may be a natural reflex, do not apologize to the other driver or say anything that could be interpreted as an admission of guilt. At this point, you can exchange insurance information and call the police to get a written report of the accident. If the other driver does not have a valid insurance policy or flees from the scene of the accident, you may have to file an uninsured motorist claim through your own insurance policy.

Document Evidence

To get compensation for a car accident, you will have to collect evidence showing that the other driver was at fault as well as what damages you suffered. After the crash, you should get to a hospital or urgent care center as soon as possible to have your injuries examined. Sometimes, a serious fracture might only present as an ache or restricted mobility. When these underlying injuries are identified and addressed, you can increase the value of your total claim.

At Whitlock Law, LLC, we will gather evidence proving that the other driver was at fault for your damages. To support your claim, we can present photos, witness testimony, crash reconstructions, and more. 

Negotiating With Insurance Representatives

Negotiating with an insurance company for compensation should be done with your attorney present. Insurance representatives are loyal to their company first and accident victims second, so they will seize any opportunity to deny your claim. At Whitlock Law, LLC, we can speak on your behalf during negotiations, taking an aggressive approach to argue for full compensation. 

If the insurance company refuses to settle for what your claim is worth, we are more than willing to take your claim to trial. In the history of our firm, we have recovered more than $50 million on behalf of injured victims, including victims of serious car accidents.
