Accident Compensation After Negligent Driving Accidents
If you have been injured by a negligent driver, it is essential to understand your rights and what compensation you can obtain. You may be able to recoup damages in several ways, including using the negligent driver’s insurance policy and, in some cases, another party who may have contributed to the accident. Your accident attorney can investigate to determine all liable parties and handle your claim to work toward the most successful resolution for injured parties.
Negligent Roadway Maintenance
Negligent roadway maintenance is an example of possible third-party negligence because potholes, too-sharp curves, and other problems can lead to a head-on crash in some instances. A claim may be filed if the government entity is found to blame for the collision. However, the time limit to file such a claim is six months. Due to the short timeline, having an injury lawyer handle your claim may be advisable.
Product Liability as a Cause of an Accident
Automobiles are commonly recalled to repair defects that could harm the driver. Retaining the involved vehicle is essential whenever an injury accident such as a head-on crash occurs. This can be examined for defective brakes, accelerators, or steering parts. If a defect is found, the automaker, provider of the defective part, supplier, distributor, and others might be liable for injuries.
Contacting an Accident Attorney to Help With Your Head-On Crash
It’s best to contact an experienced auto accident lawyer in your area as soon as possible who can help assess the facts of the case and determine what will be needed to file a successful claim. A lawyer can assist you in determining how much compensation you can recover from a negligent driver in a significant injury accident. Expected recoverable compensation includes all medical expenses associated with the crash, lost wages, and the pain and suffering the injured party experienced.
