Personal Injury Law Firm

Downs McDonough & Foley

Q: What are the immediate steps to take after a car accident?

Following an accident, the firm recommends contacting the police immediately by dialing 911. If it is safe, document the scene and vehicles with photographs. It is also important to exchange contact and insurance details with other parties and witnesses. Seek medical attention promptly, as some injuries may not be immediately apparent.

Q: How are medical expenses handled following an injury?

Medical bills can typically be covered by medical payments or personal injury protection coverage within your auto insurance policy. Health insurance can also be utilized, although it may place a lien on your case, which the firm can help negotiate.

Q: What is the firm's policy on fees for personal injury cases?

The firm operates on a contingency fee basis, meaning clients do not incur any fees unless the firm successfully resolves their case. This ensures that financial concerns do not prevent individuals from seeking necessary legal assistance.

Q: Should I provide a recorded statement to the at-fault party's insurance adjuster?

It is advisable to exercise caution when approached by the other driver's insurance adjuster. Their objective is to minimize their client's liability and payout. The firm recommends allowing your attorney to manage all communications with the insurance company.

Q: How does the firm ensure clients feel supported throughout the legal process?

Downs McDonough & Foley prioritizes client well-being by managing all interactions with insurance adjusters and overseeing the legal procedures. This approach aims to reduce the stress associated with personal injury claims, allowing clients to focus on their recovery.
