How to File an Injury Claim After a Car Crash (No Lawyer Option)
Some people don’t want to hire a lawyer. Yes — you can file your own injury claim, but you need to be careful.
Step-by-Step Claim Filing
- Call Your Insurance Provider
Tell them:
“I need to open an injury claim.”
- Submit Medical Reports
This shows pain and treatment cost. - Add Lost Work Income Proof
Salary slips / employer letter. - Send Vehicle Repair Estimate
Any body shop estimate works.
Important Tip
Insurance companies will try to reduce your claim amount.
So:
- Stay firm
- Keep everything documented
- Respond professionally, not emotionally
