Short Answer
Yes. Many people feel uncomfortable at first, especially if the at-fault person is someone they know, but most claims are handled through insurance.
It is normal to feel uneasy about bringing a claim, especially when the at-fault person is a friend, relative, coworker, or someone you do not want to harm personally. In many injury cases, the practical issue is not taking money directly from that person, but making a claim through the insurance coverage available for the loss.
Without legal guidance, insurance companies may not fully account for medical treatment, lost income, future care, or pain and disruption caused by the accident. A consultation can help you understand the process and what a claim would actually involve.
