When filing for an insurance claim, you have to prove that the amount you ask for is reasonable by providing evidence to back your claim. This is called a burden of proof, and the criteria include:

• Duty of Care: The at-fault driver had a responsibility to prevent accidents and possible injuries.
• Duty Violation: The at-fault driver didn’t fulfill their duty of care, resulting in injuries and damages.
• Cause and Effect: Their negligence directly caused your injury and damages.
• You Suffered Damages: Because of the accident, you have lost wages, medical expenses, damage to your car, etc.

After your New Tampa auto accident, your first call should be to David A. Papa. He can advise you on what to say and what not to say to the other driver, the police, and your insurance company. In this situation, even saying, “I’m fine,” or “I’m sorry,” can cost you money in your insurance claim.
