The Law Offices of James M. Freeman, P.C.

If you are involved in an accident and you have any medical treatment I strongly suggest you consult an attorney before talking to the insurance company. In the event that you only have a claim for the damage to your bicycle it may be fine to handle your own property damage claim. You can refer to my previous blog about how to file your claim with the insurance company.

If you are in an accident and fault for the accident lies with the driver, you may want to bring a claim against the driver’s insurance for any injuries you sustain or damage to your property. If you have an injury I would always suggest consulting a lawyer. In such an instance lawyers can provide valuable services that will make things easier and insure a better result. In the event that you are injured, regardless of fault, you should not speak to the driver’s insurance until you have consulted with a lawyer.
