Why You Need an Injury Attorney After an Accident

After a Chico collision involving two vehicles, determining fault is crucial. These accidents often lead to injuries, some of which may not become evident immediately due to the adrenaline rush. Consulting an injury attorney allows victims to seek compensation from the at-fault driver. Negligence in such cases can take many forms, including:

• Distracted driving involves any behavior that takes the driver’s focus away from the road. Frequent distractions in a major accident include using mobile devices, changing radio settings, or eating while behind the wheel.
• Driving at high speeds greatly increases the likelihood of accidents. It diminishes the driver’s ability to maneuver around curves or obstacles in the road safely and increases the distance required to bring the vehicle to a stop when braking.
• Fatigue diminishes a driver’s focus and hinders their capacity to make swift driving decisions, comparable to impairment effects, elevating the likelihood of collisions.
• Following too closely behind another vehicle significantly decreases the time a driver has to react, greatly increasing the likelihood of rear-end collisions.
• Alcohol or drug impairment significantly reduces a driver’s reaction time, decision-making abilities, and overall cognitive performance, increasing the risk of accidents.

Types of Compensation You May Be Entitled To After an Accident

Compensation usually recovered after a Chico injury collision includes:

• You can recover medical expenses related to the accident, including hospital bills, doctor’s fees, diagnostic tests, treatments, surgical procedures, and rehabilitation costs. 
• Compensation is available for lost income caused by your inability to work. This includes your regular wages and lost job-related benefits such as tips, bonuses, pension contributions, and insurance benefits. 
• You may also be entitled to damages for the physical pain and emotional suffering from the accident.
