FAQ
In automobile accident cases, what should I do and should I hire Anthony M. Campo Associates and why?
If you are in an automobile accident and the accident is not your fault but you are injured, wait for the police to arrive, give all necessary information, and immediately go or be transported to the nearest hospital for medical evaluation and treatment. When you arrive at the hospital, be certain to state all of your injuries in the accident, without exception. Then, call our firm for an immediate appointment. As your attorney, we will immediately begin to work on your case and protect your rights. Memories fade. Evidence can be lost with delay. Necessary witnesses can disappear.

Should I give a statement to the insurance carrier?
If you are in an automobile accident and you are insured, you should cooperate with your insurance carrier and provide a statement to your insurance carrier. If the adverse insurance carrier calls you, we recommend against providing a statement to the adverse carrier until you retain our Firm. As your counsel, we will be present with you to make certain that all of your rights are protected, and any statement you give is from your own words and your own observations.
If I am in an automobile accident and all the hospital tests are normal but I am still having pain, difficulty, or problems moving around, should I follow up with additional medical care?
We are not doctors; therefore, we do not give medical advice. However, as attorneys, we know that if there is a gap in your medical treatment or you do not have medical corroboration of your continuing problems, pain, suffering, or mental anguish, you may have great difficulty proving those continuing medical problems without medical corroboration.
If I am in an accident and the person at fault has insurance, why should I worry about my vehicle and storage?
Even if the at-fault driver in an automobile accident has insurance, you should not leave your motor vehicle in storage for any length of time. Storage charges continue every day. The adverse insurance carrier may dispute all or part of the liability. By hiring our firm, we can guide you on property damage issues, as well as personal injury.
Should I take photographs of damage to my vehicle and/or injuries to my body?
Absolutely, as soon as possible and as many photographs as possible.
If I am in an accident and I already have an appointment with my doctor, should I wait for the pre-existing appointment?
Obtain medical follow-up immediately. Do not combine visits to a medical practitioner for accident-related problems and problems unrelated to the accident.
Should I consider the insurance carrier for the other driver to be my enemy?
No, the insurance carrier for the adverse driver is there to protect the rights of the adverse driver, not your rights. Our firm is hired to protect your rights.
If I am in an accident and the accident is not my fault, should I still report the accident to my insurance carrier?
Yes, immediately. Also record information on whom and when you provided information to your own insurance carrier. If you do not timely provide notice of an accident to your own insurance carrier and you later need your own insurance, your coverage could be in jeopardy.
Why should I hire Anthony M. Campo and Associates for personal injury claims?
We have years of experience guiding clients and assisting those clients and documenting damages and losses. Without an attorney on your side immediately to guide you and assist you in protecting your rights, your rights could be minimized and even lost entirely.
