Share the basics first
Have the approximate collision date and location, any carrier details, and your preferred contact information ready. Tell the intake team if you already have an attorney.
After you submit
You receive a reference number. The intake team may contact you to clarify the facts and arrange a legal review. Submission does not guarantee representation or compensation.
Your choices
You can decline to provide optional details or ask the intake team to stop contacting you. This form does not sign you up for automated marketing texts. See how inquiry information is used.
Questions about this guide
What if I am unsure whether the carrier match is correct?
Keep the match marked uncertain. Give the confirmed USDOT number only if you have it and explain what lettering or paperwork supports the candidate.
What should I have ready for a follow-up conversation?
Keep the collision date and location, agency information, carrier clues, your inquiry reference and existing correspondence together if available.
Should I send another inquiry if I have an update?
Avoid creating duplicate inquiries. Use your existing reference when responding to the intake team about additional information.
Does an initial inquiry promise a settlement or acceptance?
No. It requests follow-up and a possible legal review. It does not determine claim value, representation or an outcome.
How do I explain information I am not sure about?
Identify it as uncertain and distinguish what you personally observed from what another person or document reported.
