Frequently Asked Questions About Motor Vehicle Accident Claims
What Do I Need to Do to Protect My Rights After a Car Accident?
- Before you do anything else, you need to make certain you get all the medical care you need. Go to the hospital, an urgent care facility, or your family doctor, and do it right away. The longer you delay, the more potential challenges you might face in any legal action to recover for your losses. Be certain you tell medical professionals about everything that’s out of the ordinary, and get everything documented in writing.
- Your next step should be to hire an experienced personal injury attorney. Your lawyer will move quickly to preserve evidence and get key witness statements, before observers move away or die, or memories begin to fade.
- If possible, get contact information from anyone involved in the accident, as well as all potential witnesses. Take pictures of everything, with your cell phone camera, if necessary, including damage to all vehicles, any injuries suffered, and weather and roadway conditions.
What Can I Expect to Recover After a Car Accident Injury?
You have a right to seek damages for all losses caused by the crash, including:
- lost wages, salary, or income;
- medical expenses incurred but not paid for by insurance;
- property damage not covered by insurance;
- loss of “enjoyment of life,” the ability to do things or engage in activities that have brought you happiness, comfort, joy, fulfillment, or pleasure;
- physical pain and suffering resulting from the accident; and
- loss of physical companionship or consortium.
What Are the Common Causes of Car Accidents?
Though there may be many potential causes of a motor vehicle wreck, these are the most common:
- Distracted driving – Whether t’s turning your eyes away from the road to look at a handheld device, adjust the stereo, take a bite or sip, talk to a passenger, monitor children in the back seat, or look at some roadside attraction, distracted driving is a national epidemic.
- Driving while intoxicated or under the influence of drugs – It’s estimated that nearly one of every 10 car accidents involves alcohol, and about 16% of all crashes involve controlled substances other than alcohol. Combined, accidents relating to drugs and alcohol account for one of every four wrecks.
- Failure to obey traffic laws, including excessive speed, illegal lane changes, failing to yield to the right of way of others, or failing to stop at signals or signs
- Failure to take inclement weather conditions into consideration
