How Do I Know If I Have a Good Case?
Schedule a free consultation to discuss your case with one of our Centennial car accident lawyers. Once we know several important facts about your accident, we will advise whether we believe you have a good case.
In a car accident injury case, if another party caused the accident and you suffered damages, you probably have a valid claim.
Most car accident injury claims are based on negligence. To succeed in a car accident injury claim, you must prove that the defendant owed you a duty of care. All drivers owe a duty of care to others to drive safely and to make reasonable efforts to avoid harming others.
You must prove that the defendant breached their duty of care by negligent action or inaction. For example, if a motorist runs a stop sign and crashes into you, they have likely acted negligently.
Next, you must prove that the defendant’s negligent action or inaction caused your accident or injury. You must prove the defendant’s negligence in running the stop sign caused your accident. If the defendant’s negligence did not cause your accident, they will not be responsible for your damages.
Finally, you must prove that you suffered actual damages from the defendant’s negligent action or inaction. Medical records, receipts for damages, and a journal documenting your pain and distress are examples of evidence that may be used to prove your damages.
You should be evaluated by a medical professional after a car accident, even if you don’t think your injuries are severe. Many injuries are not immediately apparent but can result in chronic pain and lifelong mobility issues.
How Can I Help Protect My Right To Recover Compensation?
There are several actions you can take to help protect your health and your right to recover compensation after a car accident.
- Call 911 or the local police department to report the accident and have them file a report.
- Do not admit fault or apologize.
- Seek medical attention immediately, even if your injuries are not severe.
- Keep all medical and therapy appointments and follow any recovery plan provided.
- Do not give a recorded statement to the other party’s insurance company until you consult a Centennial accident attorney.
- Do not sign anything without first consulting an attorney.
- Don’t take the first settlement offer.
- Consult an experienced Centennial car accident lawyer promptly.
- Stay off social media. Insurance companies and defense attorneys can use a seemingly innocent post against you to show your damages are not as severe as you claim or that you are not suffering from your injuries. Ask your family and friends to refrain from posting pictures or comments about you.
Once you have retained a car accident attorney in Centennial, follow their advice regarding what actions you should and should not take.
What Compensation Is Available After a Centennial Car Accident?
In a successful car accident claim, you should be able to recover both economic and non-economic damages, including:
- Current and future medical expenses
- Current and future lost wages
- Property damages
- Other necessary expenses incurred because of your accident and injuries
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment in life
- Other intangible losses and damages
Our attorneys carefully calculate your current and future damages to ensure your claim is valued accurately, and we know what would be a fair settlement of your case.
How Long Will It Take To Settle My Case?
Every case is different, so it is impossible to say precisely how long your case will take to resolve.
Some factors that influence the length of your case include the severity of your injuries and your recovery.
Other factors include whether the cause of the accident and liability for your damages are in dispute.
Another significant determinant is how cooperative the other parties are and whether they are open to settlement negotiations.
If your case can not be resolved by negotiating a fair settlement, we will need to proceed to trial. Trials can take much longer.
At Legal Help in Colorado, our Centennial accident lawyers are excellent negotiators. We work hard to negotiate a fair settlement of your claim as quickly as possible.
