A traffic accident is a drastic event that fills those involved with uncertainty. Even in a collision with only property damage, there are a lot of things to be taken care of that are outside your comfort zone:
The questions above are just a few that may apply to you and have important implications for the outcome and settlement of a claim.
If you are lucky, you will have a good broker or insurer to advise and assist you during those initial moments in settling on the spot. After all, it is vitally important that you fill out the collision form in a clear manner; after all, this is what will guide your insurer and any court in assessing liability for the accident.
Do you have questions about how to fill out the collision form? Then be sure to check out our article on the subject.
But even if you fill out the collision form in good conscience or the police proceed to file a police report, there may still be disputes over liability.
At Frontline Lawyers, we believe that everyone should have access to adequate legal assistance. If you do not have the financial means to pay for a lawyer, you can use second-line legal assistance under certain conditions.
However, in order for the Frontline Lawyers team to work for you free of charge, a decision from the Legal Aid Office is required. To do so, you must provide information about the income of yourself and your family members. Frontline Lawyers will be happy to guide you through this application in this case.[1]
