At the Law Offices of Jeff Martin, we have met with injured clients who need help in resolving the damage to their automobiles after an accident. But we realize most car wrecks don't involve physical injuries. And many people, whether they were injured or not, might try to resolve property damage claims without the help of an attorney. When this happens, the insurance company sometimes tries to take advantage of the property victim in a car accident case. An insurance company dispute may arise. Victims may get frustrated and take whatever it is the insurance company is offering, which may be well below what you deserve.
Remember, the insurance company does not work for you. Be mindful that any adjuster who calls you after an accident is working for the insurance company and the person who caused the wreck.
If you have been in a car accident and need assistance with your property damage claim, contact an experienced car wreck attorney like Jeff Martin. We can assist you with your claim so you get the full compensation you deserve. Tell them you mean business.
Oklahoma drivers are held financially responsible for the property damage and personal injury they cause. The degree of fault documented by each driver's auto insurance company determines the amount of money each party must contribute toward the resulting costs. This is known as "comparative negligence." It's best to get an experienced attorney on your side to examine the facts and help determine who was responsible for the accident.
There are two types of auto insurance coverage: first party coverage and third party coverage. First party coverage insures you and your property. This includes medical expenses, damage to your vehicle, among other things. Third party coverage pays for other people's injuries or property damage when you are responsible for all or part of an accident. In Oklahoma, minimum amount of insurance drivers must carry include $25,000 bodily injury per person; $50,000 per accident and $25,000 property damage.
Most insurance companies recommend Oklahomans carry more than the basic minimum because of the skyrocketing costs of medical and automotive repairs.
