Frequently Asked Questions
Compensation is built from the evidence you gather and the process you follow, not a fixed formula. Insurers weigh the police report, medical records showing the link between the crash and your injuries, photos and witness statements from the scene, and documented expenses like lost wages and treatment costs. Gaps in that record, missed deadlines, or early recorded statements can all shrink an offer. Following the process closely, seeking prompt medical care, documenting the scene, and reporting to your insurer, keeps your claim intact so it can be evaluated on its full merits.
