The first offer is an opening bid
Early offers routinely arrive before the full cost of treatment is known. Accepting usually ends the claim — including for injuries that show up later.
Crash & Claim
Lowball first offers, delayed responses, disputed fault — none of it is accidental. It's a process designed to close your claim cheap while your bills are still arriving.
What they don't lead with
Early offers routinely arrive before the full cost of treatment is known. Accepting usually ends the claim — including for injuries that show up later.
Photos, witness names, the crash report, and prompt medical records decide fault disputes. What you collect in the first week outweighs what anyone argues later.
Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, PIP, MedPay — people pay premiums for years and never get told when these apply.
Full firepower for car accidents is on its way to this page. Until the bell rings: protect the record, sign nothing you don't understand, and don't let anyone rush you.
