An accident can create a rush of medical, insurance, and practical decisions. The goal of this guide is to make the next steps easier to understand.
Look beyond the other driver’s policy
Your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage may be relevant, depending on the policy and circumstances.
Notice and policy requirements
Insurance contracts can impose cooperation and notice duties. Reviewing the actual policy is more reliable than making assumptions about coverage.
Other responsible parties
In some cases another driver, vehicle owner, employer, defective product, or dangerous condition may also require investigation.
