Have You Been Seriously Injured in a Car Accident or Motorcycle Accident?
Unfortunately, a car accident or a motorcycle accident can have a lasting impact upon your life. You may be worried about your recovery, rising medical costs and financial setbacks. You may also be confused about the best way to proceed.
I, attorney Bruce C.F. McArthur, am committed to representing clients throughout the Walnut Creek community and across the Bay Area who have been seriously injured in a car accident or motorcycle accident. My firm offers experienced, compassionate and knowledgeable representation.
I can assist you in deciding how to use, apply, and coordinate coverage (health insurance, collision coverage, liability coverage, and medical payments coverage) and in dealing with your insurance company or the insurance company of the other party involved in the accident. Please note I represent plaintiffs in these cases on a contingency basis - meaning you do not pay any attorney fees unless I recover compensation for you. However, if I am representing you as a defendant, attorney fees are charged by the hour, but I will assist you in securing coverage from your own insurance company. Because an injured driver can be dealing with health insurance issues, insurance issues and fault issues within the first 24 hours after an accident, it is important to consult with a lawyer as soon as possible.
As a dedicated lawyer, I represent clients who have been injured in serious motor vehicle accidents including:
- Car Accidents
- Motorcycle Accidents
- Truck Accidents (both 2-axle passenger trucks and big rigs/semis)
It is my job to help secure compensation for your pain and suffering, healthcare costs, lost wages and any other costs resulting from the injuries you have endured.
I worked for insurance companies for over 16 years and understand their strategies/tactics. I can answer all of your questions about how to handle first and third party claims.
What do you need to tell your insurance company?
In most cases, it is your responsibility to be entirely honest with your insurance company by informing them of your car accident property damage and healthcare costs.
What do you need to tell the other driver's insurance company?
Unfortunately, the insurance company of the other driver may try to undermine your claim or even try to coax you into accepting a lesser settlement while you are vulnerable. In fact, you may even receive a phone call the next day or while you are in the hospital recovering or on medication. Frequently, the insurance company will try to hold you to a statement made over the phone and may even record the conversation. Please note while you are obligated to share information with your own company, you are generally under no duty to disclose information to another company.
It is advisable to speak with an experienced attorney as soon as possible in the wake of a serious motor vehicle accident/auto wreck. Please contact me today to schedule a free initial consultation.
