Here is a question that too many of us find ourselves asking, do I really need an attorney? 

At the Law Office of Rene Castellanos we say...ASOLUTELY!

If you have been involved in any type of accident, you should immediately contact our Law Office. 

You DO NOT have to wait to get a copy of the accident report to benefit from our services. 

In fact, some reports can take upwards of ten (10) days to be ready. 

As long as you can give us basic details about the accident, we welcome you to give our Law Office a call so we can immediately begin working for you. 

It is important that your claim is correctly set up from the start. 

If you wait until you encounter some resistance from the insurance company, you likely have already jeopardized your case. 

The insurance companies will quickly recognize this!   

When dealing with a personal injury claim one needs to remember that insurance companies are simply not in the business of giving away their money, not even to deserving claimants. 

If the facts of your accident are relatively clear, we nonetheless will sometimes need to file a lawsuit to increase your chances of obtaining the compensation you deserve and are legally entitled to receive. 

At the Law Offices of Rene Castellanos, you will always meet with an attorney. 

Understandably, Mr. Castellanos cannot be in multiple places at once, but every effort will be made to have your visits be directly with your attorney.

What about my damaged vehicle?

Our Law Office realizes your vehicle is important to your way of life.  It is important to us to get you back in your repaired vehicle as soon as possible.  We will immediately open a claim with the proper insurance company, have your vehicle inspected and repaired at the body shop of your choice. 

Am I entitled to a rental vehicle?

Yes!  Normally, the same insurance company that covers the repairs to your vehicle will cover a rental vehicle for you while your vehicle is being repaired or is otherwise inoperable and/or unsafe to drive.  A lot of the times, however, we have to apply some legal pressure to the insurance companies to make sure they comply with this simple rule, and don’t just leave you without a vehicle. 

Should I submit to a recorded statement by the insurance company?

Before determining who is at fault for the accident, some insurance companies will require a recorded statement from you. 

It is highly recommended that you wait until you retain our Law Office before communicating with the insurance company.  Let your attorney be present with you if it is determined that a recorded statement is absolutely necessary. 

In our experience, these recorded statements quickly exceed the scope of their intended purpose.  If these recorded statements go unrestricted, what you say may easily come back to jeopardize your case.
