This article will detail what compensation may be available following a car crash, cover policy limits and medical bills as well as provide insight into why hiring a personal injury attorney would be beneficial.

What compensation am I eligible to claim following my car accident?

After being involved in a car crash, its aftermath can be extremely traumatic and you could be entitled to various types of compensation such as:

• Medical Expense
• Lost Wages
• Property Damage
• Pain and Suffering
• Loss of Consortium

What do policy limits mean in relation to my claim?

Policy limits represent the maximum amounts an insurance provider is obliged to cover under specific coverages. For instance, an at-fault driver who holds liability coverage with an initial limit of $50,000 would only have their insurer cover up to this sum in case their actions cause injuries or damages to others. Should your damages surpass this figure additional compensation may need to be sought either through your policy or litigation proceedings.

How are medical costs covered after an accident?

• Health Insurance: Your health insurance may cover medical costs related to an accident.
• MedPay: As an optional coverage on your car policy, MedPay covers medical costs regardless of who was at fault.
• Liability Coverage: Should another driver cause your injuries, their liability coverage should cover medical bills up to their policy limit.

Why hiring a personal injury attorney is beneficial?

• Legal Experience: Personal injury attorneys have comprehensive knowledge of all relevant laws and processes.
• Negotiation Skills: Attorneys can negotiate on your behalf with insurance companies to secure you an equitable settlement agreement.
• Representation in Court: Attorneys can represent you in court proceedings to make sure all damages are fully compensated for.

When should a client consult an attorney?

Engaging a personal injury attorney promptly is in your best interests. Doing so will allow them to preserve evidence and prevent costly errors while filing within the statute of limitations period.
