When you’re injured in a car crash, it can be difficult to navigate your insurance claim or court case. Fortunately, a Highlands County car crash lawyer can help you get the full compensation you deserve.
Whether it’s a trip to work, the gym, or the grocery store, most of us hop in the car for some reason nearly every day. Unfortunately, any of those little trips can end with serious injuries. Because of another driver’s careless actions, you might find yourself battling serious injuries and racking up high expenses.
When it was someone else’s fault that you were so badly injured, it can feel like you haven’t received justice for your accident. It’s painful, and your insurance policy might not provide the full compensation you need. When this happens, you may need a Highlands County car accident lawyer from Lopez & Humphries, PA. We’ll guide you through your claim and fight for your compensation.
Dealing with Insurance
As Florida residents, we live in a “no-fault” auto insurance state, and this can be a little confusing when you’re first starting your claim. But a successful and fair insurance claim can prevent a long fight in court.
Each person’s no-fault insurance covers him or her in the event of an auto accident—regardless of fault. You’ll simply need to file a claim with your insurance company, and the insurer will calculate your settlement.
Unfortunately, this settlement isn’t always enough. In some cases, you might have suffered serious injuries because of the other driver’s negligence, and your personal injury protection, or PIP, insurance may not be enough.
“Serious” injuries include disfigurement, broken bones, permanent impairments, and death. Crossing the serious injury threshold may mean you can file a civil claim against the other driver.
If you won’t be able to file a personal injury claim outside of the no-fault insurance system, you have to remember that insurers are for-profit businesses. That means they look out for their own interests—not yours. If you’re not getting the full settlement you need from your insurance company for any reason, you may need a Highlands County auto accident lawyer on your side to help you fight back.
Getting Your Compensation
Whether you’re seeking a settlement through your insurer or compensation from the responsible party, you’ll need to know the true value of your damages. Your damages should include both economic and intangible damages (like pain and suffering). The latter can make it difficult to calculate the value of your claim without the tools and resources a car accident attorney in Highlands County can provide.
When calculating your compensation, you might include any of the following damages:
- Current and future medical expenses
- Pain and suffering
- Lost wages
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Household services
