Injured in an Out-of-State Car Accident?
Do you live in one state but were injured in another? Out-of-state car accidents add extra stress to an already difficult situation.

Which State Laws Do I Follow?
Deciding which state laws apply to your car accident depends on several factors:
- Who caused the accident
- Where it occurred
- Where the car accident case is filed
- Whether the case is filed in state or federal court
In most cases, you’ll have to follow the laws of the state where the car accident occurred. However, out-of-state accident cases aren’t cut and dry – each one is different, and each state has its own set of conditions that could affect your claim.
That’s why you need Edgar Snyder & Associates on your side.

And remember, there’s never a fee unless we get money for you, so you have nothing to lose. Let us deal with the stress of an out-of-state car accident case – so you can focus on more important things, like getting better.
Will My Insurance Cover Me for an Out-of-State Car Accident?
The state where your insurance policy is purchased will almost always determine your rights.
In some very rare instances, a "liberalization clause" may apply. That means you may have expanded benefits available under the state law where the accident occurred.
But in most cases, you’ll be stuck trying to match up your out-of-state car insurance with a different set of local laws. Again, it’s best to talk to an attorney to be sure you protect your rights.
