After an auto accident, insurance companies immediately take steps to minimize claim costs. This generally starts off with efforts to steer victims to insurance company preferred auto body shops, pushing for imitation auto parts, and securing premature recorded statements or medical authorizations. As for auto repairs, the law is clear: Your Car, Your Choice. We recommend that you choose an auto body shop of your choice, and take any directive from an insurance company with great skepticism. Similarly, it is often against your interest and not required that you give a recorded statement or medical authorizations. We are here to guide you through this process, help you avoid the pitfalls, and work with you to discuss your rights and responsibilities after an auto accident.
