Things You Should Know About Automobile Accidents:

Stop after an automobile accidentIf you have been involved in an automobile accident, you are required by law to stop. If you don’t, you may be charged with a hit and run. Leaving the scene of an accident is a very serious charge, much more so than a ticket.


Get informationInformation you should gather immediately following an automobile accident, if possible, includes the other driver’’s name, address, phone number, date of birth, driver’’s license number, insurance company name, car make, model, and license plate number. Also, pay attention for any witnesses to the accident.  This could become crucial if there is a dispute as to what happened.

Don’t assume you are to blameEven if you believe the automobile accident is your fault, don’t volunteer to take the blame, agree to pay for damages, or sign any statement that assigns blame without being advised to do so by an experienced personal injury attorney.

Report the accidentIf you have been involved in an automobile accident, make a report with local law enforcement, inform your insurance company and contact an attorney.

Get a medical check-upWe recommend that you and your passengers get a medical check-up following an automobile accident. Some injuries are not immediately apparent, and a physical performed by your physician or other qualified medical professional can check for injuries that went unnoticed right after the accident.

Talk to an attorney firstBefore speaking to an insurance company lawyer about how the automobile accident happened, make sure to first consult with a personal injury attorney about your case.

Don’t allow telephone calls to be recordedNever participate in a recorded telephone call with an insurance company’s lawyer regarding the insurance company’s accident investigation.

Uninsured drivers can be suedUninsured drivers who cause automobile accidents that result in personal injuries can be sued. If an uninsured driver caused your automobile accident, contact a personal injury attorney for a review of your case.

You can be suedIf you believe you have caused an automobile accident or know you are being sued, it is essential that you contact your insurance company and obtain legal representation.

Frequently Asked Question (FAQ)

Find answers to our most frequently asked questions about car accidents in Connecticut. If you have a question that is not answered here, please feel free to call our office for a free consultation, or fill out our online consultation form.

How much money is my case worth? Your case is worth either what you agree with the insurance company it's worth or the amount of a cash award granted by a judge and jury. We examine all of the conditions surrounding your case in order to arrive at a figure that we believe the insurance company must pay for your injuries. Generally, the dollar value is dependent upon the type and extent of your injuries. Other factors influencing the dollar value of your case are the amount of medical bills, length of treatment, frequency of treatment, future medical bills, permanent disabilities and any other damage that can be documented. We study every detail so that we can get you the money you deserve for your injuries.

How long will it take to get a fair and reasonable settlement offer? Connecticut cases can vary in length from weeks, months, to even years in some instances. Typically, you will get paid after you have healed from your injuries and have been released by the doctor. This is the best way you can be assured of receiving full compensation for your injuries. We want you to get this compensation for your injuries, so we wait until treatment is completed before telling the insurance company how much your case is worth. We never rest, however. While we wait for your treatment to be completed, we gather the information that increases the value of your Connecticut case. We constantly do everything we can to move your case forward toward settlement.

Will I have to go to court? If the insurance company agrees to pay what we believe your case is worth and you wish to settle for that amount, then your case will not go to court. This is what happens in most situations. Some cases do require a formal trial proceeding, however. In either situation, hiring a firm like The Bojka Law Offices with experience in handling personal injury cases is critical. We prepare all of our cases as if they are going to court and this is the very reason why most of our cases get settled outside of court. We are always prepared, and our preparation allows us to negotiate from a position of strength, helping you get the maximum award for your injuries.

How much will Bojka Law Offices charge? There are several ways that an injury lawyer charges for services. At our law firm, this is how we charge: there is no charge for your first visit or telephone call.  We also do not charge for subsequest telephone calls or meetings. All your questions will be answered and there is no obligation. We never charge an attorney's fee unless we obtain a recovery for you. Our fee is a percentage of your recovery. If a recovery is not made, you pay nothing for attorney's fees. We do not charge any fee for helping you settle your claim for damage to your vehicle.


 

Can't any lawyer handle any type of case? It's true that you could hire any lawyer licensed to practice in Connecticut.  The law is changes regularly.   We stay on top of developments in the law so that we are prepared to address any issues in your case.  We always represent our clients' best interests. Think of it this way: if you needed surgery, would you rather have it done by a surgeon or a general practitioner? Both are doctors ¼¼ right? Yes, but the surgeon has the training and experience you need. The same is true for lawyers. The family lawyer who prepared your Last Will and Testament may not have the personal injury trial experience that you need. You have a right to ask about the experience and training of the lawyer you hire. You should exercise this right.

Should I release my medical records to the insurance adjustor? Definitely not. Releases should only be signed under limited circumstances and after consulting with a qualified personal injury lawyer. If your medical information gets into the insurance adjustor's hands, it could hurt your case.

Who will pay the doctor bills and fix my car if the other person has no insurance? Even if the other driver doesn't have any insurance, you may still be covered. Check with our office. We can look at your policy and tell you if you have uninsured motorist coverage, coverage which can compensate you if you are involved in an auto accident with someone who has no insurance.
