Common Questions and What You Should Know After a Car Accident
One of the most common questions that people who have been hurt in motor vehicle collisions have is who will be responsible for the reimbursement of accident-related expenses. Injured parties may be left with mounting medical costs along with being temporarily or permanently out of work. If the other driver caused the traffic collision, their auto insurer is generally responsible for covering economic and non-economic damages up to the limits of the policy through an insurance settlement. Conversely, if the claimant has medical payments coverage (MedPay) under their insurance policy, any medical treatment related to the crash will be covered up to the limits of the plan.
Another common question that an injured party has is who will pay for the repairs or replacement of their damaged vehicle. If the car is deemed repairable, and the insurance company representing the other driver has accepted liability, then the insurer will be responsible for the reimbursement of vehicle repairs. If the at-fault party does not have liability coverage, then the injured party’s uninsured motorist property damage coverage may come into play up to the limits of the policy or collision coverage, either of which will be determined by the first-party carrier based on the facts and circumstances of the case. If liability is contested, it can make the matter more challenging for all parties involved.
Every personal injury case for a car accident is unique and different. There is no single way of determining the value of a claim. The amount that the claimant may expect to receive will vary upon the factors of the incident, including the extent and severity of accident-related injuries, chances of full recovery or maximum medical improvement as determined by a medical professional, medical expenses, time lost from work, and others. An experienced injury lawyer will evaluate the case to determine its full and fair value, handle negotiations with insurance companies, and take the case to court if all attempts at a fair settlement fail with the insurer.
