If you were involved in a car accident due to someone else’s carelessness and negligence you have the right to be compensated for your injuries and property damage.
The compensation comes out of a settlement of your car accident through the at-fault party’s insurance company. In order to get compensation from an individual’s insurance, you must first prove there was physical harm and that the other party was at fault.
After a car accident, the victim may be rushed to the hospital, or they might see a doctor days later when they begin to feel pain. Medical bills, especially hospital bills, can range anywhere from $4,000- $80,000. As a victim of a negligent driver, you have the right to pursue compensation for your:
- Past and future medical bills
- Past and future lost wages
- Past and future physical pain and suffering, physical impairment

What To Do After a Car Accident
- Call the police and make a police report. Having a police report stating that you are not at fault is valuable evidence we use to get the other party to take 100% liability. Some insurance companies will twist the real car accident scenario and try to push liability on you.=
- Check for any witnesses. Like a police report, we use eyewitness statements as evidence to provide insurance companies. Eyewitnesses are valuable to any case. Make sure to get the eyewitnesses name and contact info.
- Exchange information with the person responsible. Gather information from all parties involved such as: insurance, vehicle registration, driver’s license, and identification card.
- Take photos. Make sure to take photos of the vehicles involved. Get photos of the damage on the vehicles and license plates.
