¿Puedo receive compensation from my car accident, even if it was partially my fault?
Receiving compensation from a car accident can be very difficult. If you are partially responsible for the accident, receiving compensation can be even more difficult.
The amount you can receive may depend on the laws of your state regarding comparative negligence and contributory negligence.
Can I handle my car accident lawsuit without a lawyer?
You may be able to handle your car accident lawsuit without the help of an experienced lawyer, but it will be much more difficult. A car accident lawyer has experience dealing with adjusters and insurance companies.
A car accident lawyer will also be able to investigate the accident and help you show that the accident was not your fault. Finally, settlements reached with the help of an experienced lawyer are generally more substantial than those reached without a lawyer.
Do I have to call the police if I had a car accident?
Yes, although calling the police after an accident is not mandatory in all states. But by contacting the police after your car accident, you can later obtain a police report about the accident.
A police report can be an essential part of the accident lawsuit, as it will detail who the police believe was negligent and therefore responsible for the car accident. Contact DeMayo Law Offices to schedule your free initial consultation.
I feel fine. Do I have to see a doctor after my car accident?
Yes. Often, injuries that occurred during the accident do not arise until some time after it occurred. This means that while you may feel fine now, you may be internally injured. You should always seek medical attention after being involved in a car accident.
If you are not at fault for the accident, you may be able to receive compensation for any medical costs you have to pay after the accident.
What should I tell the insurance adjuster after my car accident?
Insurance adjusters work for the insurance company, and their job is to save the company as much money as possible. While it is okay to talk to the adjuster about the accident, you should always have some kind of witness present, preferably an experienced lawyer in these types of cases.
