The Causes Behind Car Accidents
A successful car accident claim should demonstrate proof of negligence. Essentially, this means that you have to be able to prove that the other driver caused the accident through some act of carelessness. Common acts of negligence while driving include:
- Distracted Driving: A driver can be held accountable for not paying attention to the road, especially in accidents caused by texting while driving.
- Driving Under the Influence: Drunk driving is a criminal offense, and it can also be cited as evidence of fault in an accident.
- Reckless Driving: Conscious acts of recklessness like excessive speeding, street racing, or swerving between lanes may constitute fault for an accident.
At Parthemos, Curran, Buelow and Polizzi, PLLC, we can pull evidence from traffic cameras, police reports, witness testimony, and crash reconstruction analysis to help show that the other driver was at fault.
What Damages Can I Be Paid for?
Getting maximum compensation for your claim involves taking inventory of all of your damages. At Parthemos, Curran, Buelow and Polizzi, PLLC, we can help you account for different economic and non-economic damages, including:
- Emergency room bills and the cost of an ambulance
- Surgery expenses
- The costs of ongoing medication, treatment, or physical therapy
- Lost wages
- Reduced income or earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Mental trauma
At Parthemos, Curran, Buelow and Polizzi, PLLC, we will not overlook any of your damages, no matter how slight they may seem. If you suffered a severe, catastrophic injury like damage to your brain or spinal cord, we can factor that into the value of your claim. We advise you to seek out medical attention as soon as possible after a car accident so that we can accurately gauge the extent of your damages.
Getting Compensation for Your Damages
Not long after the accident, you may be contacted by the other driver's insurance company. Though the insurance representative may act friendly, you should exercise caution and refrain from saying too much about the crash.
The insurance representative may ask some questions about what led up to the accident as a subtle way of getting you to admit fault and sabotage your claim. If you do not feel comfortable speaking with the representative, you can always decline to answer any questions and return to negotiations with your attorney present.
In other cases, the representative might try to win you over with an attractive settlement. However, the first offer is likely to be well below the real value of your claim. Our car accident attorneys can negotiate on your behalf and push for a full settlement. If the insurance company will not pay for all of your damages, our trial attorneys can take your claim to court.
