Claim for Vehicle Wreck


Property Damage Claim

            People who have been injured in an accident often wonder about how the damage to their car is going to get fixed and paid for and whether the person who caused the accident will have to take care of it.

            Whoever caused the accident is definitely responsible not only to pay the injured party compensation for the injury, but also for any damage to your vehicle and damage to any other property for that matter.  If your glasses got broken in the accident, then the guilty party will have to pay for new glasses as well as getting your car fixed.

            Of course the person who caused the accident will not usually have to pay himself, because nearly everyone has insurance to cover this sort of loss.  The insurance company for the guilty party will be the one that will have to pay for any property damage which came out of the accident.

            Dealing with the insurance company to get the damage paid can be tricky.  Most often, if the fault in the accident is clear, the insurance company will be willing to pay for repairs, or for the value of the car if it is totaled, fairly promptly after the accident.  Generally you will not have to wait until you have recovered from your injuries and are ready to settle your injury claim.  However, insurance companies will usually try to pay as little as possible, so it is a good idea to have someone on your side to negotiate the best deal for you.

            At Lowry & Associates we routinely arrange the best deal for our clients on property damage.  And we do this without any extra charge.
