Insurance Dos & Don'ts

Representing the Injured in Nevada


At Richard Harris Law Firm, we understand that you're feeling fear, anxiety, and concern after your car accident—dealing with the insurance company only compounds that stress. Our Nevada auto injury attorneys can help you make the right choices to protect your claim.

Following these dos and don'ts can help you get the best results possible:

What You Should DO

  • Do call Richard Harris Law Firm at (702) 444-4444 or fill out a free initial consultation form. Our Las Vegas auto accident attorneys can advise you on how to deal with the insurance company.
  • Do call your insurance company and let them know you were involved in a car accident. Take notes on who you talked to and when.
  • Do read your policy. Take time to read your insurance policy so you know how you are covered. If you have questions, we're here to help you understand your policy.
  • Do collect information. Gather the insurance company information for the person who was involved in your accident, as well as his or her personal contact information.
  • Do save any receipts or records that may apply to your insurance claim. Without this documentation, you may not get the full amount of compensation you're owed.

What You Should NOT DO

  • Don't make a statement to the other party's insurance company. Your words can be used against you later. Talk to us first.
  • Don't give the insurance company any written information about your accident—whether it's your company or the other party's involved.
  • Don't wait. It's important to file your claim or lawsuit as soon as possible after the accident. If you wait too long, you may lose rights to the compensation you deserve.
  • Don't sign anything. Never sign a release, waiver, or any kind of document without consulting your Nevada auto accident lawyer first. You may be signing away your rights.
  • Don't take money. If the insurance company offers you money, it may be less than you deserve.
