Damages One Can Pursue in a Rear-End Car Accident

1. Damages One Can Pursue in a Rear- End Car Accident If you or a loved one was injured in a rear-end accident with another motorist, you could be left damaged physically, financially, and emotionally. A serious car accident can leave you with thousands of dollars in medical expenses, lost incomes, and vehicle repairs. When someone is seriously injured in a rear-end car accident, a common question is, “How can I figure out how much my case is worth?” Getting an accurate answer to this question typically necessitates consulting with an experienced car accident attorney. A seasoned auto accident lawyer can review your case and help determine which types of damages you may be able to pursue – for the proper restitution -through a civil claim. There are several other types of damages you can include for consideration in your claim. Your car accident lawyer in Los Angeles can ensure you have accounted for all forms of financial restitution you may be owed. Some of the types of financial restitution include: •Immediate and long-term medical expenses •Wages you lost when you could not work after the accident

2. •Reduced earning potential, if you cannot work in the same capacity now as you could before the accident •Any modifications you may have had to make to your home to accommodate an accident-related disability •Non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering and PTSD Settlement Offers In the aftermath of a serious car accident, expect to receive a phone call from the other motorist’s insurance company. The insurance representative will likely ask you about your bodily injuries and how you are feeling. If liability is uncontested and it is clear their motorist caused the wreak, they will probably attempt to make a quick settlement offer in the hopes you accept before speaking to a personal injury attorney. Never accept this offer. Why? Because the initial settlement offer is almost always far below what will actually cover your harms and losses. If you accept the initial offer, you could be signing away your legal rights and lose any chance of proper compensation. The insurance company may also look for additional ways to use information against you. You will want to make sure your rights are as protected as possible — and the best way to do so is by contacting an experienced injury attorney in Los Angeles. The Aftermath Your first course of action after a rear-end car accident should be to speak to an experienced personal injury attorney and asses whether it makes sense to file a personal injury claim against the other motorist’s insurance policy. If you have a lawyer on your side, the process is much easier for you (i.e. the victim) since your lawyer will take on the burden of collecting your medical records, compiling relevant evidence, and negotiating with the insurance company. If the insurance company refuses to negotiate for a fair settlement, the next step may be filing a lawsuit.
