Frequently Asked Questions
If you are involved in a car accident, you should seek necessary medical treatment immediately. Even if you are not injured, it is important that you call the police and file a formal police report which can later assist with insurance claims and any lawsuits which may follow.
During this time, you will be required to show your driver’s license and documentation of your insurance coverage. It is important that you obtain this information from the other driver as well. If you have a camera, you should take a photo of the scene or soon after to show any damage to your vehicle.
To ensure that you receive the greatest settlement possible, contact Gabriel Rivera who can initiate an investigation and start defending you.
At Rivera Law Group, we take all personal injury and wrongful death cases on a contingency fee basis, which means that our clients pay no upfront or out-of-pocket costs. We understand that money is not what you want to worry about in these situations, so we do not get paid unless you get paid.
It depends on many factors. Most cases settle prior to trial, but if a settlement is not reached, your case will go through litigation, progress, discovery, and trial which can take a year or longer in many jurisdictions.
