so every auto accident case has at least two claims portions to it one is the bodily injury portion which obviously has to do with the person and the other is the property damage portion so in order to get a claim started with the at fault insurance company or the person who caused the accident you're going to want to get your hands on the police report look for the insurance company of the at fault driver call that insurance company and reference the policy number in the police report once you open the claim an adjuster will be assigned to handle the property damage portion of your claim in order to start repairing your vehicle you're first going to need a preliminary estimate that estimate you can choose any body shop that you want and you in the car to that body shop of your choice to begin the repairs and get a rental you can get a rental car after liability has been determined and your car is dropped off at the body shop to begin repairs you're eligible to have a rental for as long as it takes for your car to be repaired there's a formula that will determine whether the vehicle will be repaired or deemed a total loss if the body shop finds more damages than in the preliminary estimate they will then send in a supplemental report to the insurance company and at that time the insurance company will add an additional check to cover the repairs one of the rare occasions where a law firm can add tremendous value to a property damage claim is when the claim involves punitive damages punitive damages only come up if the at-fault driver has been convicted of wrongdoing we can get upwards of four to five times of what the property damage estimate was after a person is injured in an auto accident they need support our mission is to provide the support necessary for clients to know their voices are being heard and that they have the absolute best Advocates on their side [Music] foreign [Music]
