Understanding Your Rights After a Serious Motor Vehicle Accident
A motor vehicle accident can change your life in an instant—often resulting in serious injuries, a lengthy medical recovery, lost wages, long-term disability, or even wrongful death. If you or a loved one has been injured in a car accident, you may be entitled to pursue financial compensation for property damage, medical expenses, pain and suffering, wage loss, and future medical care.
Motor vehicle accidents cause more deaths each year than all natural disasters combined. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), nearly 6 million car accidents were reported in a single year, resulting in millions of injuries and tens of thousands of fatalities nationwide.
To recover compensation after a traffic collision, an injured victim must prove that another party caused the crash through negligent or reckless driving, or that a defective roadway or vehicle defect contributed to the accident. If the accident occurred while you were working, you may also have grounds to pursue a workers’ compensation claim.
