FAQs About Car Accident Lawsuits
What is considered negligence in a car accident?
According to the law, driver negligence is considered any careless behavior that results in another’s harm. For example, a driver may be found negligent if they did something they should not have, including texting, running a red light, or speeding.
A driver also may be found negligent if they have failed to do something, such as yielding, stopping for a pedestrian, or neglecting to turn on their headlights at night. If you’re unsure whether the at-fault driver behaved negligently in your case, consult with your car accident attorney to learn more.
What is a typical auto accident settlement worth?
The exact settlement for a car accident varies significantly from case to case. The greater your medical expenses, automotive repairs, and lost wages, the greater your settlement is likely to be.
How is pain and suffering calculated in an auto accident?
There is no standard for calculating pain and suffering in your car accident insurance claim. However, most insurance providers consider the severity and permanence of your injury to make the most accurate valuation of your pain and suffering.
In general, the more severe and permanent the injury, the more pain and suffering you’ll endure and the higher this value will be.
What are your legal obligations if you are involved in a car crash?
If you are involved in a collision, you are legally obligated to stop the car and move to the side of the road. The accident must be reported to your insurance company, the Department of Motor Vehicles, and local police authorities. Failure to do so may result in an issuance of your arrest warrant.
