Typically, the process after a North Carolina automobile accident is uncharted territory, and you are unsure what to do. For more minor claims, it may be possible to “learn on the go” and negotiate a fair settlement with the at-fault driver’s insurance company on your behalf. However, you should consider retaining an attorney quickly to represent you against the insurance company for automobile accidents involving more severe injuries, such as those with extensive medical expenses. The attorneys of Maginnis Howard regularly represent clients with a Garner automobile accident injury case and can help you recover the fair compensation to which you are entitled.
What to Expect
The first step in any personal injury claim is the identification of your legally recognized damages. This is difficult to do without a complete analysis by an experienced lawyer. However, there are some general areas of damages of which you should be aware. First, you are entitled to recover all medical and pharmaceutical expenses proximately caused by the car accident. This is true even if the accident exacerbated a pre-existing condition such as degenerative disc disease. Car accident victims may also collect damages for lost wages or lost earning-capacity.
Some of the other damages you are entitled to are not always easy to calculate and are simply based upon a projection of what a jury would award you based on the exact circumstances of your case. They include compensation for physical, mental, and emotional pain and suffering and temporary and permanent disability.
