Types Of Compensations After A Car Accident

- Vehicle repair or replacement costs
- Pain and suffering
- Permanent disability
We can assess the total damages you have incurred and pursue the full compensation amount you deserve.
Common Injuries After A Car Wreck
The force of a car collision can cause serious trauma, resulting in injuries like:
- Whiplash
- Concussions and traumatic brain injuries
- Broken bones
- Lacerations and burns
- Internal bleeding and organ damage
Even seemingly minor injuries can have long-lasting health impacts. You are better off seeking medical attention immediately.
A Personal Injury Lawyer Can Help After A Car Accident
Even though you are not legally required to hire a personal injury attorney after a car accident, having experienced legal representation can significantly improve your chances of receiving fair compensation. Having skilled legal representation levels the playing field by:
- Investigating establishing liability
- Documenting and calculating the full damages
- Handling negotiations with insurers
- Preparing to take your case to trial if needed
Since insurance companies are motivated to minimize payouts, they will likely attempt to diminish the value of your claim.
Answering Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Car Accidents
When our clients are injured in car accidents, they often have a lot of questions about their rights and the road to recovery. As we represent you, we can answer your questions while helping you pursue the compensation you deserve. Some of the questions we get from our clients include:
What is the statute of limitations for filing a car accident lawsuit in Arkansas?
In Arkansas, you generally have three years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. This deadline is crucial because failing to file within this timeframe will likely result in the court dismissing your case, preventing you from seeking compensation. It is always wise to consult with an Arkansas car accident lawyer as soon as possible to ensure your rights are protected and all deadlines are met.
What should I do if the other driver’s insurance company contacts me?
You should be cautious when speaking with the other driver’s insurance adjuster, as their goal is to minimize the payout for your claim. Avoid giving a recorded statement, admitting any fault, or accepting a quick settlement offer without first reviewing it with legal counsel.
Can I still receive car accident compensation if the at-fault driver is uninsured?
Yes, you may still have options for financial recovery even if the at-fault driver has no insurance. You may be able to file a claim through your own insurance policy if you have uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage.
Do I have to go to court to get a settlement for my car accident?
Most car accident cases are settled out of court through negotiations between your attorney and the insurance company. A settlement can be a faster way to receive car accident compensation without the stress and uncertainty of a trial. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, a skilled lawyer will be prepared to take your case to court to fight for the full amount you deserve.
