Unless you win your auto claim and receive compensation, you are responsible for paying for your medical expenses.

This seems unfair – but your experienced auto accident attorney can help. There are a few options to look into, even if you do not have medical insurance. Get in touch to learn more.
Answer
Car Accident
If you have collision coverage, your auto insurance company will pay for your vehicle repair or replacement – and a rental car in the meantime! The insurer will then seek reimbursement from the at-fault driver’s insurance company. Keep in mind that you will need to pay your deductible until reimbursement is received.
Answer
Car Accident
It is best to consult a car accident lawyer after a wreck, no matter how minor. If you suffered any accident injuries, it is important to not only visit your doctor but get trusted legal advice as soon as possible. Our team will handle your auto claim from start to finish, helping to maximize the compensation you receive.
Answer
Car Accident
Yes, it is crucial to see a doctor after your accident – even if you do not think you are injured. If a minor ache or pain turns out to be a more serious issue and you decide to pursue compensation, it is important that you have a doctor’s medical report. Delaying your doctor’s visit until you show symptoms gives the at-fault driver’s insurance company the opportunity to say that your injury was not caused by the car crash.
Answer
Car Accident
The insurance company will make its own determination about who caused the accident, using police reports, vehicle damage assessments, witness statements and more. Because the insurance company’s version of events is not always accurate, it is crucial to have a car accident lawyer on your side. Your lawyer will conduct their own investigation to strengthen your auto claim.
Answer
Car Accident
Call the police right away after your accident. When the officer arrives, they will file a police report on site. Because the claims reporting process varies from state to state, it is best to hire trusted legal representation to guide your next steps.
Answer
Car Accident
It depends. Most auto accident victims will receive compensation a few weeks after their auto claim is settled. The length of the settlement process, however, can vary from one case to the next. Typically, the settlement process takes at least a few months, depending on the severity of your accident injuries and the overall complexity of your case.
Answer

Here at The Mike Hostilo Law Firm, our car accident lawyers work on a contingency basis rather than hourly fees. If you have not heard the term before, a “contingency fee” means that you only have to pay if and when you get compensation. So you don’t pay a penny unless we win your auto claim! Since there is nothing to lose and everything to gain, contact us today to schedule a consultation!
Answer
Car Accident
The value of your case depends on the extent of your accident injuries and vehicle damage. After your consultation, your car accident lawyer will be able to calculate both economic and non-economic damages to give you a better idea of what your auto claim is worth.
Answer
Car Accident
South Carolina law requires all insured drivers to carry uninsured motorist (UM) coverage. So if you are involved in a collision with an uninsured driver, your insurance company will provide compensation for accident injuries and vehicle repairs/replacement.

Georgia law, however, does not require uninsured motorist coverage. If you are hit by an uninsured drivers, it is best to get trusted legal advice to learn more about your options.

Answer

Rideshare companies provide insurance coverage in South Carolina. But you are required to first file an auto claim with the rideshare driver’s personal insurance company before filing one against the rideshare company itself.

Here’s what to do if you are a passenger in a rideshare accident:

  • Seek medical care.
  • Record detailed notes about the incident.
  • Get insurance information (driver’s personal insurance details as well as rideshare companies).
  • Contact a car accident lawyer to find out which damages you are entitled to.
