Our Fort McMurray car accident lawyers know the ins and outs when it comes to automotive claims and have the expertise to ensure that you receive a fair settlement.
Most motor vehicle accidents get resolved outside of court. In cases where the insurance company is not cooperative, going to trial may be necessary. While the final say is always up to our clients, choosing one of our injury lawyers to represent you will preserve your rights as a victim. Studies have shown that claimants represented by lawyers specializing in wrongful death litigation receive a significantly higher settlement than those who file alone. Let us serve your best interests with our expert lawyers.

The Personal Injury Claim Process
1
Overview
When you file a ‘claim’ it means that you’re telling the insurance company that you are enforcing your legal right to be compensated (or paid) for your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, pain, and suffering. The claim is usually submitted to the insurance company that represents the person or persons who caused your injuries. At first, your claim will be a formal legal demand made with the help of your personal injury lawyer. No courts or judges will be involved. However, if the insurance company refuses to negotiate a fair settlement based on the formal demand, then your attorney will file a lawsuit. At that point, your claim will be considered a ‘case’ and will follow the court systems rules and timeline.
2
Notify the Insurance Companies
As soon as possible following the accident, you should notify your insurance company, as well as the insurance company representing the negligent party who caused your injuries. You will give them basic information about the accident, such as the date and approximate time, and that is all. Do not answer any questions, do not admit any fault, and do not accept any settlement offers. You are simply putting it on record that an accident occurred and that you were injured. Your attorney will handle all other communications with them from that point on.
No Fee Policy
The last thing an injured person needs is another bill. With Martin G. Schulz and Associates, you pay no legal fees until we secure a settlement satisfying your needs.
