Whether you’re dealing with medical bills, insurance companies, or just trying to figure out what to do next, we’re here to provide clear answers and expert guidance.

First and foremost, ensure the safety of everyone involved. If you’re able, move to a safe location and call 911 to report the accident. Even if you feel fine, seek medical attention as some injuries may not be immediately apparent. Gather evidence by taking photos of the scene, exchanging information with the other driver, and collecting witness contact details. Once you’ve handled the immediate aftermath, contact Car Wreck Cowboys to start building your case.

Not a single penny upfront! At Car Wreck Cowboys, we operate on a contingency fee basis, which means we only get paid if we win your case. Our fee will be a percentage of the settlement or court award, so you can rest easy knowing that we’re as invested in your success as you are.

The compensation you may be entitled to can cover a wide range of losses, including medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and more. In cases involving severe injuries or long-term impacts, you may also be eligible for compensation for future medical care and lost earning potential. Our team will work to ensure that every aspect of your losses is accounted for.

The time limit to file a claim, known as the “statute of limitations,” varies by state but typically ranges from one to three years from the date of the accident. It’s crucial to act quickly to preserve evidence and build a strong case. Contact us as soon as possible so we can start the process.

If the other driver is uninsured or underinsured, you may still have options to recover damages. This could include filing a claim with your own insurance company under your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. We’ll explore all possible avenues to ensure you get the compensation you deserve.

The timeline for resolving a case can vary significantly depending on its complexity. Some cases may settle quickly if liability is clear and the damages are straightforward. However, if the case goes to trial or involves significant disputes, it may take longer. Throughout the process, we’ll keep you informed and work diligently to resolve your claim as swiftly as possible.

Even if you bear some responsibility for the accident, you may still be entitled to compensation. Most states operate under comparative negligence rules, meaning your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you’re found to be 20% at fault, your compensation would be reduced by 20%. We’ll help assess your case and work to maximize your recovery.

Yes. It’s important to see a doctor after a car wreck, even if you feel okay. Some injuries, like whiplash or internal injuries, may not show symptoms immediately but can become serious if left untreated. A medical evaluation also provides crucial documentation of your injuries, which is important for your case.

Insurance companies may deny claims for a variety of reasons, but a denial doesn’t mean the end of your case. We can help you challenge the denial, gather additional evidence, and negotiate with the insurer. If necessary, we’re prepared to take your case to court to get the compensation you deserve.

While it’s possible to handle an insurance claim on your own, doing so can be risky. Insurance companies often aim to settle claims quickly and for as little money as possible. Without legal representation, you may miss out on the full compensation you’re entitled to. Having an experienced attorney from Car Wreck Cowboys on your side ensures that your rights are protected, and your claim is handled with the expertise it deserves.

Every case is unique, and the strength of your case depends on various factors, including the evidence available, the circumstances of the accident, and the extent of your injuries. We offer free consultations to assess the details of your case and provide you with an honest evaluation. Our goal is to help you understand your options and make informed decisions.
