May I be compensated for all of my damages from an auto accident?

The law places on every person the duty to act reasonably. This applies to the operation of any motor vehicle. A person’s failure to operate a motor vehicle with reasonable care is negligence. If this negligence causes an auto accident and injury to another person, the owner and operator of that vehicle can be liable for a number of different types of damages. Such damages include:

• Medical expenses, past and future
• Pain and suffering, past and future
• Wrongful death
• Lost wages, past and future
• Permanent injury/disability, scarring, physical disfigurement
• Loss of consortium
• Damage to your vehicle, other property damage
• Rental car costs
• Other miscellaneous expenses

Most all insurance companies will not compensate a claimant unless all of the damages caused by the insured are properly documented. It is our job as your legal counsel, to ensure your claim is documented and supported in such a manner that the insurance company cannot deny or diminish your claim based upon improper or insufficient information. If the insurance still persists in unreasonably denying or diminishing your claim, we than file a lawsuit on your behalf to force the insurer to act responsibly.

The above is not legal advice. That can only come from a qualified attorney who is familiar with all facts and circumstances of a particular, specific case and the relevant law.
