Automobile accident cases are almost never simple. Some auto accidents appear very minor initially, but may turn out to involve injuries that could cause a lifetime of pain and suffering. The attorneys at Coastal Law are experienced in this type of case, and will work with you to ensure that you will be properly compensated for all of your injuries.

There are many situations where the driver at fault is not properly insured, but in many cases your insurance may cover the damages. The attorneys at Coastal Law have the experience necessary to properly interpret your insurance policy to determine what you can expect your insurance policy to cover.

Auto accident victims should understand that every insurance company has a team of adjusters, investigators and attorneys whose primary responsibility is to limit the liability of the insurance company and minimize the amount of money to be paid to injured parties. Insurance companies will aggressively defend themselves, even in those cases which appear to have no complex legal issues.

From simple rear-end collisions to complex injury and death cases involving automobile, truck and motorcycle cases, Coastal Law routinely handles all aspects of motor vehicle accident litigation. Please give us a call today for a free initial consultation regarding your automobile accident.

I was in an accident, what do I do?:

1. Get emergency medical attention if you are seriously injured. 

2. Cooperate with the investigating officer but do not make any admissions regarding fault of the accident. Make sure the police make a report.

3. Try not to move the vehicles, but obey the law. Sometimes vehicles must be moved to an accident investigation area.

4. Take pictures of the scene and the vehicles and include pictures of personal injuries you may have suffered.

5. Get names and phone numbers of potential witnesses.

6. Keep a log of all accident related activities including visits to hospitals or doctors. Record dates, times and purpose of visits.

7. See an attorney to protect your legal rights.

8. Do not sign any releases or accept any "final payments" from an insurance company until you have made sure that you understand your rights. It is always a good idea to consult an attorney first
