Can I Sue for an Auto Accident Injury?
Not at fault: If you were not at-fault, you may be able to sue. If you were at-fault, you do not have a claim and cannot sue. If you were a passenger however in a car that caused the accident you may still be able to sue.
Girones Lawyers works with you (the plaintiff) to determine the impact of the injury on your life: pain and suffering, financial loss, future prognosis for recovery, future treatment requirements. All this information helps us to assess your case. Should we proceed to litigate your case, there are various opportunities to settle prior to taking the case to trial. Girones Lawyers will only settle if we can get you a fair compensation for your injury; otherwise, we will take your case to trial.
Threshold: There is a legal threshold as to which injuries will allow a person to sue. The fact is that the threshold is always fluctuating with new decisions from the courts. Girones Lawyers reads current case law and can provide qualified advice as to whether your case may meet threshold.
If you were in a car accident, your best course of action is to immediately speak with an experienced lawyer who knows the motor vehicle accident area of litigation—and can give you qualified advice.
No Fault Accident Benefits: Even if you are at fault in a car accident you may still be entitled to receive certain benefits from your own insurance company. When you are first injured, your personal insurance helps you. You must apply for these benefits if you ever intend to sue. After a couple of months of treatment, if you’re not getting better, you should seek advice from a lawyer; especially if the injury lingers three to six months. Also, if your insurer cuts you off, you should seek advice from a qualified motor vehicle accident litigator.
