Below are common terms you may encounter in car accident claims and how they apply to your case.
Liability means responsibility for the accident and the resulting harm. It determines who may owe compensation.
Damages cover medical costs, lost income, property repair, and pain-and-suffering caused by the crash.
Evidence includes police reports, medical records, photos, and witness statements used to support your claim.
A settlement is an agreement with the insurer or party in a civil case to resolve the claim without going to trial.
You have options after a car crash, including dealing with insurers directly, hiring a lawyer, or pursuing a court case. Each path has its own considerations and timeframes.
