What to Expect from a Personal Injury Claim for an Auto Accident
After a motor vehicle crash, it is easy to feel stressed and overwhelmed by the situation. This is especially true if it results in traumatic injuries that require extensive medical treatment and time away from work to recover from and attend medical appointments. Depending on the facts and circumstances of the case, an injured party may have grounds for a personal injury claim against the other side and their insurance carrier. There are some unique situations where an injured person will have to seek relief through their insurance company if they have UM and UIM coverage. Such a situation may occur when it has been determined that the negligent party was uninsured at the time of the incident or has insufficient liability coverage to pay for resulting damages.
While hiring a lawyer may not be the first thought on your mind after getting injured in a crash, it should be an option worth considering, as handling an injury case may be difficult. Apart from providing a free case evaluation, handling communications with insurance companies, and negotiating on your behalf, an accident attorney will also be of great benefit when it comes to various challenges that may present in the process. For instance, it is not uncommon for a negligent driver to attempt to pinpoint fault on an injured party as a way of avoiding liability for the incident. Your injury lawyer will conduct an independent investigation of the car accident by gathering clear and compelling evidence that demonstrates negligence on the part of the other party. Your attorney will also work to determine whether a government entity was also liable for the collision. This may include a lack of road maintenance, unsafe roadway design, lack of warning signage, and more. Remember that shorter time limits apply to these cases, such that a notice of claim must be brought no later than 180 days from the date of loss.
Remember that time is not on your side when it comes to a personal injury case in California. That is because they are subject to strict deadlines that are outlined in the California Code of Civil Procedure Section 335.1. Under this section, claimants only have two years from the date of the incident to file a lawsuit. Bringing the case forward after the statute of limitations has expired may result in the court’s dismissal of the claim and the loss of the right to seek compensatory damages. That is why it is suggested to retain legal counsel after a motor vehicle collision resulting in traumatic injuries. An attorney will get to work by handling your case from start to finish, all while you focus on the healing process and getting your life back on track.
