Auto, Truck & Motorcycle Accidents
Traffic accidents are the most common cause of personal injuries. Every 10 seconds, someone in the United States is involved in a car accident, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Being the victim of an auto, motorcycle or truck accident can be a frightening experience. You may find yourself injured and in pain, without a vehicle and confused about what to do next.
If you’ve been in an automobile accident, particularly if you’ve suffered an injury, the insurance company may try to pressure you into signing away your rights to future compensation for medical treatment, ongoing problems and property damage.
Be Careful What You Sign
Unfortunately, if you sign the wrong document and you may sign away all of your rights. Before signing anything from the insurance company, consult with an attorney. You could unwittingly sign a medical release or some other document that effectively settles your claim and caps the amount of compensation you can receive for your injuries.
While you may be anxious to get a check in hand, a speedy resolution to your auto accident insurance claim isn’t always in your best interest.
Hidden injuries
Many people who appear to have suffered minor injuries or none at all later develop pain and other symptoms resulting from the crash. That’s why it’s vitally important to seek medical treatment following a traffic accident, even if you don’t think you’ve been seriously injured. If you develop any pain or other symptoms following an accident, you should see a doctor.
Consulting with an attorney after an automobile, truck, or motorcycle accident is one of the wisest decisions you can make in the aftermath of an accident. Statistics show that people who are represented by an attorney receive an average of three times more than those without legal representation.
Understanding your legal rights
Attorneys uncover benefits you may not know you’re entitled to, and they can also help you negotiate with healthcare providers, car rental companies and other to defer billing until you’ve received compensation for your injuries and vehicle damage.
If you have been involved in an automobile, truck or motorcycle accident, you may be entitled to compensation for:
* Car repairs
* Pain and suffering
* Lost wages
* Medical expenses, now and in the future
* Permanent impairment
* Mileage to and from your doctor’s appointments
* Prescription costs
* Rental car
