You may recover medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and compensation for pain and suffering. The amount depends on the injuries and impact on daily life.

Most cases settle before trial, but some proceed to court if settlements fail or liability is disputed. We prepare thoroughly for either path.
If the other driver lacks insurance, you may still have options through uninsured motorist coverage or your own policy. We review all coverages and pursue viable paths.
