About SettledCase

Plain answers after a crash.

We help people hurt in car, truck and motorcycle crashes understand where they stand, and connect them with an independent injury attorney for a free review when they want one.

Why we exist

A crash turns a normal week upside down. You are hurt, behind on work, sorting out a car and fielding calls from an insurer you have never met. Most of the advice you find is written to sell you something, or written for lawyers.

SettledCase exists for the person in the middle of it. We explain what tends to matter in the first days, and we make it easy to find out in about a minute whether it is worth talking to an attorney.

What we do

  • Guides. Calm, plain-language articles on what to do after a crash, how insurers work and how claim deadlines run.
  • A free case review. Answer a few questions about the crash, the timing, your injuries and who was at fault.
  • A match with an independent attorney. Someone who handles cases like yours in your state gets your answers and reaches out. You decide what happens next.

What we are not

SettledCase is an information and referral service. We are not a law firm, we do not give legal advice, and using this site does not create an attorney-client relationship. The attorneys we refer you to are independent. They are not our employees or agents, and we do not control their advice or their fees.

How we make money

The site and the case review are free to you. Attorneys and law firms may pay for the cases we refer to them. That never changes what an attorney charges you. Ask any attorney how their fees work before you agree to anything, and know that no result is guaranteed.

Our standards

  • No promises of results. Every case is different, and nothing on this site predicts what yours is worth.
  • Not legal advice. Our guides are general information, and the rules differ by state.
  • Plain about the money. We tell you how we are paid and who sees your information.

Your information

We share your answers with the independent attorney matched to your case. We do not sell or share your mobile number or your text message consent with anyone for their own marketing. Text updates are optional, and you can stop them at any time by replying STOP. The full details are in our Privacy Policy and SMS Terms.
