What are some of the legal issues facing someone injured in an automobile accident?
Determining the legal rights of someone injured in an automobile accident can be much more complex than many people realize.

Some of the typical questions that arise in these cases are:
  • Do I have a claim I can make?
  • What evidence do I need to prove the other driver was negligent?
  • How do I obtain the physical and forensic evidence necessary to prove the negligence of the other driver?
  • Are there certain time limits applicable to my claim?
  • Where and how do I bring my claim?
  • What rights do I have to collect from the insurance company of the negligent driver?
  • What rights do I have to collect under my own insurance policy, including medical payments coverage, uninsured motorist coverage, and underinsured motorist coverage?
  • What damages am I entitled to recover?
  • What do I need to do to maximize my recovery for the damages I suffered?
Why do I need an attorney experienced in automobile injury cases?
The potential complexities of automobile injury cases may be significant. Successfully handling these challenges may require a thorough knowledge and appreciation of many factors, such as forensic evidence, liability insurance coverage, pertinent case law, and trial strategy. An attorney experienced in how to meet these challenges and who has successfully handled automobile injury cases like yours should be consulted.
