Fault is determined by reviewing police reports, witness statements, vehicle damage, and traffic camera or scene evidence. Police findings and expert analysis may play a role. Your attorney helps interpret these findings and build a persuasive case for liability.
Compensation may include medical expenses, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, and recovery for any long term care needs. The amount depends on the injuries, treatment, and impact on daily life. A dedicated attorney helps quantify and pursue these damages.
Case duration varies with complexity, attorney workload, and insurer responses. Some claims settle in months, others take longer if a dispute goes to court. An experienced attorney can help manage timelines and expectations.
If the at fault driver has no insurance, you may still recover through the at fault party’s assets, your own underinsured motorist coverage, or other available sources. An attorney can explore these options and guide you through the claims process.
Gather a police report, medical records, proof of injuries, photos from the scene, witness contact information, insurance details, and any receipts for related expenses. Keep a log of symptoms and time off work.
Lawyer fees for personal injury cases are typically paid on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and costs are paid from any settlement or judgment. If there is no recovery, there is usually no fee.
