Frequently asked questions

I don't own a car. Can I still recover anything?

Often yes. Claims are usually made against the driver's insurance, and other coverage may apply depending on your situation.

What if the driver says I wasn't in the crosswalk?

Witnesses, traffic cameras, and the location of injuries and damage can help show what really happened.

Is the review free?
