Dealing with the Insurance Company After an Accident

With decades of experience working directly with insurance companies, we know that the process of filing a claim can be complicated.

In most cases, it is in your best interest to contact a reputable attorney as soon as possible after an accident. Our car accident lawyers can make sure your rights are protected, that the insurance company is not using your words against you, and that you are receiving the compensation for which your claim is worth.

Insurance companies are known for protecting their own interests and paying out as little as possible for claims. Having an attorney on your side can make sure your rights are protected and can help to secure the compensation you deserve.

If you have suffered severe injuries, lost a loved one or been offered too little for your claim, we may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf seeking additional damages.

Do I Have a Case?

Although the laws for who can file a lawsuit are different in every state, most states allow claims to be filed in accidents in which one of the parties was negligent. This means:

  • The at-fault party owed a duty of care to the injury victim. In a car accident case, this most often means that the at-fault party was required to operate a vehicle with reasonable care and follow traffic and safety laws.
  • The at-fault party breached their duty of care. This means that the at-fault party was not careful in their actions and acted in a way that a reasonable, prudent person would not have. This can include running a red light or driving under the influence.
  • The victim suffered damages or injuries as a direct result of the at-fault party’s actions. Car accident victims may be entitled to compensation if the at-fault party’s actions directly caused them injury. You must be able to prove that your injuries were caused by the car accident and nothing else.

In most cases, the insurance company will attempt to place at least partial blame on the victim for his or her injuries in an attempt to defend the at-fault party’s actions and limit the amount of compensation they have to pay.

In some states, this is a very important factor in determining if you have a case and how much compensation you will be entitled. Some states have comparative negligence or contributory negligence laws that take into account a victim’s role in causing an accident when awarding compensation.

In a comparative negligence state, a victim’s compensation will be decreased by the percentage of fault he or she had in causing the accident. For example, if a victim is ten percent liable in a case asking for $1,000, he or she will only be awarded $900.

In a contributory negligence state, a victim will be barred from recovering any compensation if it can be proven that he or she is even one percent liable for the accident.

It is vital that you hire an attorney who has experience handling these types of complex cases and is familiar with the laws that are relevant to your case. The car accident lawyers at Janet, Janet & Suggs, LLC are accomplished attorneys who are well-versed in the laws of many states.

Types of Compensation from a Car Accident Lawsuit

The types and amount of compensation you may be entitled to in a lawsuit will vary greatly depending on the circumstances surrounding your accident. In many cases, a victim may be entitled to both economic and non-economic damages.

Economic damages – These damages are awarded based on the direct costs you experienced from your injuries or the death of a loved one. This can include:

  • Current medical expenses
  • Future medical bills and rehabilitation costs
  • Lost wages
  • Lost future earning capacity
  • Funeral expenses

Non-economic damages – These types of damages are more difficult to quantify and recover as they include compensation for non-financial losses. This can include:

  • Physical pain and suffering
  • Mental anguish
  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of companionship

A judge or jury may also award punitive damages as punishment for the at-faulty party and to discourage others from acting in a similar way. These damages are rare and require acts of extreme malice or intent.

After investigating your claim and determining the full extent of your injuries or loss, our car accident lawyers will be able to determine the maximum compensation you deserve. We will then work tirelessly on your behalf.

Do Not Wait to Contact Our Car Accident Lawyers

You should contact an experienced lawyer immediately after a car accident as you only have a limited amount of time to file a lawsuit.

If you miss your state’s deadline, you will not be able to file a lawsuit and will not be able to recover compensation.
