Questions About Insurance Coverage and Payment

I was in a car accident, what do I do first?

Time is of the essence after a car accident. Call us as soon as you are able and we will provide a free 15-minute consultation to help you get the services you need.

We want to help you minimize injury and regain function as soon as possible after a car accident.

Often people think they’ll be fine if they “wait it out” after an accident, but you’re losing valuable time for healing, and you may be losing needed insurance benefits as well.

We will help you navigate your physical condition as well as the insurance so you can get your life back as soon as possible.

Generally no, but it depends on your payor.
