Frequently Asked Questions

• What should I do immediately after a serious motor vehicle accident?

  After a serious motor vehicle accident, the first priority is obtaining appropriate medical care and protecting your health. As soon as possible, important evidence should also be preserved, including photographs, witness information, police reports, vehicle evidence, and any available video.

  It is also important to identify all applicable insurance coverages and begin documenting the injury and its effect on your daily life. In a serious injury case, early legal representation can help preserve evidence, establish the insurance claims, communicate with insurance companies, and begin building the injury case from the outset.

• Why is early legal representation so important after a motor vehicle accident?

  The first few days after a motor vehicle accident can have a lasting impact on your injury claim. Early legal representation allows us to preserve evidence, begin the accident investigation, identify insurance coverage, coordinate the legal process, and help lay the foundation for a fair, full, and maximum injury settlement.

• What will Horn Law do immediately after I hire you?

  We take immediate action to protect your claim. That includes investigating the accident, preserving important evidence, identifying witnesses, establishing insurance claims, communicating with insurance companies, and helping you focus on your medical recovery while we begin building your case.

• How do I know if all available insurance coverage has been identified?

  Many injury claims involve more than one insurance policy. We work to identify all available sources of insurance coverage, including liability insurance, uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, commercial policies, umbrella policies, and any other coverage that may apply to your case.

• What if I’m still in pain or don’t yet know how serious my injuries are?

  Your health always comes first. Some injuries are not fully apparent immediately after an accident. We encourage every client to obtain appropriate medical care, follow their physicians’ recommendations, and ensure their injuries are properly diagnosed before important decisions are made about their claim.

• Will Horn Law deal with the insurance companies for me?

  Yes. Once we represent you, we handle communications with the insurance companies so you can focus on your recovery. We work to protect your rights, avoid unnecessary mistakes, and ensure your claim is properly presented from the very beginning.

• What if my vehicle is totaled or I need a rental car?

  We understand that an accident disrupts every part of your life. We help clients navigate property damage issues, rental vehicles, insurance claims, and other practical concerns so they can move forward as quickly as possible.

• What if I think the accident may have been partly my fault?

  Do not assume responsibility before the facts are known. Liability is often more complex than it first appears. Our accident investigation helps determine what happened, preserve important evidence, and ensure fault is properly evaluated.

• What should I do during the first few days after a motor vehicle accident?

  Seek appropriate medical care, follow your doctor’s recommendations, preserve any photographs or evidence, avoid giving unnecessary statements to insurance companies, and contact Horn Law as soon as possible. The sooner we become involved, the more we can do to protect your claim and begin building a strong case.
