Bautista LeRoy attorneys specialize in helping those searching for answers to the question, "Can I sue if I wasn't injured in a car accident?". Since the 1990s, our legal team has provided Kansas City Metropolitan Area residents with high-quality personal injury representation. We believe personal injury to be one of the premier practices available - representing victims in accidents involving cars, trucks, motorcycles, and trains as well as elder abuse/nursing home neglect cases. Through this focused approach we have garnered extensive knowledge while building an impeccable reputation.

This article will examine whether it is possible to sue even without experiencing physical injuries in an accident, its causes and damages you can claim as well as why hiring a personal injury attorney should be prioritized.

 

What are the causes of collisions?

Human negligence is usually to blame when car accidents occur, with most collisions being due to:

  • Distracted Driving
  • Speeding
  • Drunk Driving
  • Reckless Driving
  • Weather Conditions

 

Can you sue for a car accident if you are not hurt?

Legal action remains available despite not suffering physical injuries in an accident, - you could still qualify if car damage, emotional trauma, or any other losses resulted from this accident.

 

What types of damages may I claim after a car accident?

  • Property Damage: Protects against costs related to repairing or replacing vehicles and damaged properties.
  • Lost Wages: If an accident has prevented you from working again, lost wages compensation could be available.
  • Emotional Distress: Financial compensation may be granted for emotional distress.

 

Why hiring a personal injury attorney could be beneficial?

  • Expertise: Personal Injury Attorneys specialize in this area of law and understand its intricacies when handling such cases.
  • Negotiation Skills: Attorneys can represent their clients when negotiating with insurance providers to seek equitable compensation.
  • Legal Representation: Should it become necessary, an attorney can represent your interests before the courts.
  • Peace of Mind: Hiring an expert allows you to concentrate on recovery and other personal matters.

 

When should I hire an attorney?

Legal assistance should always be sought immediately following an accident, to allow time for evidence gathering while communicating directly with insurance providers on your behalf and providing expert guidance regarding what will be the best course of action moving forward.

 

What criteria must I keep in mind when searching for an attorney?

  • Experience: When hiring a personal injury attorney, ensure they have experience handling similar matters successfully before.
  • Reputation: Evaluate an attorney's credibility by reading reviews or testimonials written by previous clients.
  • Communications: Choose an attorney who provides frequent updates and can communicate clearly.
