Do I need a lawyer?

Thinking about getting a lawyer

If you’ve been hurt in an accident, you may feel thrown into a whole new world of insurance claims and lawsuits. You may be lost in a pile of paperwork, acronyms, policies, and procedures. The legal team at Singer Kwinter can help you navigate the process so you can focus on your recovery. Here are some of the things we can do for you:

Investigate

We can help:

  • determine if you have a claim, who the claim is against, and what claims should be made.

  • investigate which insurer or policy should respond to specific parts of your claim.

  • notify the insurers about the accident.

  • understand your policies and coverages, and make sure that you apply for all the benefits to which you are entitled.

  • investigate your injuries as people that are in serious pain and distress may not be able to advocate for themselves in the medical system.

  • find the right assessments to make sure that all your injuries are properly diagnosed and treated.

  • advise you as to whether your accident means that you have a claim.

  • with investigations of liability.

  • determine who may be at fault for your accident, and why they would be responsible.

  • notify the parties responsible for your claim and make sure that their insurers respond.

Coordinate

If you have benefits that cover treatment for your injuries, we will be there to help you get the right medical services and find the right practitioners to make sure that you are covered.  We understand the documentation that is needed to ensure that your claims are covered and paid without delay.

Often, there are different policies responding to different parts of the claim. If you have disability insurance, medical insurance, and auto insurance, we can coordinate your claims so that each policy responds to their part of your accident claim.

Litigate

If your claim has been denied by your insurer, the legal team at Singer Kwinter are able to engage in the appropriate dispute resolution process to get your insurer to comply with their obligations.

Many accident claims are resolved without the need for litigation. When litigation is required, some insurance claims are disputed through specific insurance tribunals, and others are handled through the courts. If a lawsuit is the appropriate way to proceed with your accident claim, we will know which documents need to be filed, and in which court.

If your case needs to go to trial, the experienced team of trial lawyers at Singer Kwinter can see your matter straight through to the end. We have a history of trial advocacy that goes back to 1974, and we will be with you for as long as you need us. Contact us today for a free consultation.
