CCK Helps You Navigate the Claims Process

The aftermath of an accident is stressful. Our team works to help eliminate that stress by handling as much of the process as possible.

We Handle Your Claim and Accident Minutiae

The to-do list that follows a car accident can be long and imposing. It might include items such as:

• Attending doctor appointments;
• Fielding insurance company calls;
• Filling out paperwork;
• Getting car repair estimates;
• Shopping for a replacement for a totaled vehicle;
• Filing for short-term disability if you have to miss work.

Looking at that list can be overwhelming, especially when you should be focused on your health and recovery. Our team not only helps you win the compensation you deserve but also helps cut down your to-do list and take stress off your shoulders. In fact, we employ a support staff whose job is to assist clients with understanding and filling out paperwork.

We Take Over All Insurance Company Negotiations

Once we take your case, we become the point of contact for insurance companies, the other driver, and anyone else needing information about the accident.

Communicating and negotiating with the insurance company are often the most stressful and frustrating tasks injured parties must handle after a car accident. This does not matter if you are talking with your own insurer or the other driver’s.

If the insurance company can come up with a justifiable reason to deny or reduce your claim, it will. And its reps can be very skilled at extracting statements from you that compromise the value of your claim. Contact us before you speak with the insurance company.

In addition to taking over communications with the insurer, we will also take over negotiations. This is exactly what the insurer does not want to happen.

If you get a call from the insurer right after the accident, and it is offering to settle quickly, let them know you need to run the offer by your attorney, then call us right away. By accepting the offer the insurance company puts in front of you, you risk leaving thousands — or more — on the table.

We Fight to Maximize Your Compensation

R.I.G.L. § 9-20-4, also known as Rhode Island’s comparative negligence law, allows you to recover compensation even if you contributed to the accident. However, it also allows the other side to decrease your recovery by your percentage of fault (e.g., you request $40,000 for your damages, you were 10 percent at-fault, the most that you could receive is 90 percent of your demand, $36,000).

The Chisholm Chisholm & Kilpatrick Team Fights for All Types of Damages

Do you know what damages you are eligible for after a car accident? If you accept the insurance company’s initial offer, you might receive compensation for your current medical bills and not much else.

When we negotiate on behalf of our clients, we fight for an entire suite of damages, which could include some or all of the following:

• Both current and expected future medical bills;
• Lost income from work and reduced capacity to earn;
• Pain and suffering;
• Emotional anguish;
• Loss of consortium.
