UnderstandingYour Rights

Swerve is a calm, procedural guide for immediate roadside use. We focus on safety, evidence preservation, and basic information exchange so you can work through the first steps after a crash. No account required, with clear next steps that work offline.

Every accident is unique. Information in Swerve is for general education and does not constitute legal advice or create an attorney-client relationship. Laws vary significantly by state and change.

Consider speaking with a licensed attorney if you have serious injuries, fault is disputed, several vehicles are involved, a commercial truck or government vehicle is involved, an insurer asks you to sign a release, or a settlement seems low. An attorney can explain how the facts and deadlines apply to your situation.

• Deadlines: Filing and notice deadlines vary by state, claim type, and policy. Check the applicable official source and get advice before a deadline passes.
• Comparative fault: Some states reduce recovery based on responsibility, and the rules differ.
• No-fault: In some states, your own coverage may pay certain medical costs regardless of who caused the crash. Rules and coverage vary.
• Reports and evidence: A police or crash report may help document an event, but it is one source among many and does not decide every claim.
