In the United States, millions of people are injured in motor vehicle accidents every year. With our roads and freeways crowded with traffic, San Diego is no stranger to car crashes. Motor vehicle accidents are often caused by another person’s reckless actions or inattentiveness on the road. Drivers must use care to avoid injuring passengers, other motorists, or pedestrians. When the driver is not reasonably careful and injures someone, they may be financially liable for the victim’s injury.
Motor vehicle accident victims may be entitled to compensation for the following:
- Physical injuries
- Lost wages and lost earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Medical expenses
- Future medical expenses
Motor vehicle accidents can range from a minor fender bender to a serious head-on collision. No matter the severity of the accident, victims can sustain severe injuries that cause physical, mental, and financial harm. Even something seemingly minor such as getting rear-ended, can lead to spinal cord injuries or severe whiplash that results in medical bills and time spent unable to work and earn a living.
If you’ve been injured in a motor vehicle accident as a driver, passenger, or pedestrian, you may have suffered significant personal injuries and financial loss. Insurance companies may try and give you a low-ball settlement that is nowhere close to the monetary compensation you need to recover.
