Car accidents are one of the leading causes of death in America and on a yearly basis, just about 40,000 Americans die in car wrecks every year. Car accident injuries for those who survive are distressing. Unfortunately, there is a good chance that just about everyone will be involved in a crash of some kind at least once in their lives.
Having said that, if you are in an accident, you will need a skilled car accident attorney with a good track record handling cases like this to go to bat for you in getting compensation for your personal injuries. This is not something you may do on your own. It's too complex and there is way too much at risk – like a fair and equitable settlement. Only a seasoned attorney will be able to accurately assess the financial compensation possible for your injuries.
Finding a good car accident attorney is not always about picking one out of the phone book. It's about finding one that you resonate with and you know will work hard and ethically to get you justice. If you need an attorney to handle your case, you might want to think about "interviewing" a few before making a final decision.
You will want to know how long they have been in practice and roughly how many car accident cases they handle on a yearly basis. You will also want to know the attorney's damage recovery record for others who have been injured in car accidents. Since most personal injury lawyers take cases on a contingency basis, you will want to ask about this right up front. Chances are you don't have the money you would need to hire a car accident attorney and for this reason, if they operate on a contingency basis, meaning you don't pay them unless they win your case, this would work better for you.
It's a fact that car accidents (just check the car accident statistics) are the most common cause of personal injury claims. Those who have suffered in an accident, whether you were the driver or passenger, the "other" driver or passenger or a pedestrian hit by a car or a biker that collided with a car, you are entitled to compensation for your pain and suffering as a result of the accident. Even if you were partially at fault, there is compensation involved, although it may be apportioned according to the percentages assigned for fault in the accident.
Filing a personal injury lawsuit for damages sustained in a car crash is not just about suing someone for money to pay for your medical expenses. The lawsuit may be a claim against an uninsured driver. In fact, car accident statistics these days clearly show that since the economy went into a nosedive, the number of uninsured motorists have risen dramatically.
You may certainly claim for medical expenses, for lost wages and for damages sustained to your vehicle. Pedestrians, cyclists and motorcycle riders may also file claims after being involved in a car accident. Generally speaking, the person who is at fault pays the claim. Just to reiterate though, if the accident was caused by "two" people and not just one, that means damages may be divvied up differently, as in if you are 25% responsible for an accident and the "other" driver is 75% responsible, any damage award may be reduced by 25%.
If you have been involved in a crash, the best thing to do is to get advice and counsel from an experienced and highly skilled car accident attorney. Once you have decided on who you want to represent you, it's time to gather the information needed to put together a solid case for court or to negotiate a settlement. Don't wait too long to ask about filing a personal injury claim, because in some instances, you may not have that long to file a case.
When you're talking to your car accident attorney, he will tell you right up front what compensation you may be entitled to as a result of the accident. Typically, you may get recovery for any expenses paid out because of the accident. Other items that are classified as recoverable damages are pain and suffering, future and past medical bills and lost wages from being off work because of the injuries suffered in the accident.
The bottom line is that if you have been in a car accident, your whole world gets turned upside down. You will have to deal with things you've never had experience with, didn't know about, try to cope with your injuries and medical issues and heal – all at the same time. This is where the compassion of a skilled car accident attorney will stand you in good stead.
They will assist you in dealing with insurance companies, doctors and other situations that come up while you're trying to settle your car accident claim. In the end, you can bet that the car accident attorney made a significant difference in the outcome of your settlement, and you can now get on with living your life.
