Common Causes of Car Accidents and Injuries

3 Austin Car Accident Tips:

Visit Your Doctor to Properly Document All Injuries
When you're injured in an accident, it's important to listen to your doctor and document everything. Make sure you keep copies of all documents and expenses related to your injury so you can be compensated for any expenses you pay that are out of pocket.

What are the Rights of a Car Accident Victim?

As the victim of a car accident, you are entitled to be made whole again after your injuries. Auto liability coverage is mandatory in California – every driver on the road must be insured up to a certain amount. However, some drivers do not carry insurance, which means that you would have to attempt to recover your losses by suing an uninsured driver directly.

If the driver responsible for the accident is insured, the settlement of all auto accident claims will be processed by the other party’s insurance provider. The car insurance provider must first accept the responsibility on behalf of the insured, which does not always happen right away in some cases. If there is a question as to which driver was at fault for the accident, this issue may end up being litigated in court.

Once the responsible driver’s auto insurance company admits fault, the next step is to send a demand letter to the insurance company that includes the amount you are requesting for compensation for your injuries. The advantage of having an attorney communicate on your behalf is that it tends to expedite the process of agreeing on a settlement amount and issuing payment.

As the victim of a car accident, you have certain rights that need to be protected. For example, if you suffer injuries as a result of the crash, you are entitled to be fully reimbursed for your losses. This includes medical expenses, property damage, and any other costs associated with the accident.

Unfortunately, not all drivers carry liability insurance – which means that if the driver responsible for the accident is uninsured, you would have to sue them directly in order to get compensation. If the driver is insured, the settlement process will be handled by their insurance company. However, getting the insurance company to admit fault is a challenge, and they most certainly will NOT have your best interests at heart and will give you the least amount of compensation possible.

And the first step is to contact Deon Goldschmidt Attorneys. We can help by communicating with the insurance company on your behalf and getting you a settlement amount that compensates you for what you deserve, not what the insurance company wants to pay you.

If you're in an accident, don't try to go it alone without a car accident lawyer. Insurance companies are motivated by profits and are interested in doling out settlements and payments that are usually low and unfavorable to you. A car accident lawyer can help you get the financial compensation you deserve and deal with the insurance companies on your behalf.

When you or a loved one is in an accident, the insurance company may not be willing to pay for all the damages. That's where we come in. We'll help you file a claim and get the full extent of the compensation you deserve, whether it's for property damage, medical bills, lost wages, or pain and suffering. We'll deal with the insurance company so you don't have to, fighting them if they try to deny your claim or argue that you were partially at fault. And if the other party doesn't have insurance, we'll represent you in court and fight for you. 

When you get into a car accident, it's important to remember to keep all documentation related to your injuries. This will help prove the liability of the other driver and ensure that you receive the damages you deserve.
