If you've suffered injuries in a crash caused by a distracted driver, a skilled auto accident lawyer can help. They will review your case to make the most convincing arguments in favor of full compensation. This includes covering all your present and future expenses.

Car crashes

Car accidents can take a variety of forms that range from simple fender benders to devastating head-on collisions. The type of collision determines who could be responsible, as well as the extent and severity of the injuries suffered by victims and the extent of their financial losses.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) statistics driver error is the main factor in crashes involving motor vehicles. Even the slightest distraction like changing radio stations or applying makeup, or even reading the road map can result in a serious accident. Other causes of car accidents are speeding, reckless or drunk driving, poor weather conditions, inexperienced drivers or older drivers.

A competent New York City car accident lawyer can analyze your case and identify the parties responsible for your financial losses and injuries. They can also negotiate with the defendant's insurance company to reach an equitable settlement for your claim.

A skilled lawyer for auto accidents can assist you in obtaining the compensation you deserve, such as for past and future medical expenses and lost wages, physical and mental anxiety, and other damages. They can also make sure that your claim has insurance for uninsured or under-insured drivers, if required. This is particularly important if the driver at fault doesn't have insurance, or has the minimum amount required by New York law.

Underinsured or uninsured motorists

Some drivers don't have insurance and others only have a minimal amount of insurance. It can be difficult to recover compensation if an under-insured or uninsured driver causes a collision. In these instances you must have a competent legal advocate who can assist you in achieving your goals, as well as the goals of the insurance company.

When the other driver's liability limits aren't high enough to pay for your losses, you may be able to file a claim under your own insurance policy's underinsured/uninsured motorist coverage. This type of coverage is typically part of an insurance policy with full coverage, and it could provide you with crucial insurance in the event of a major accident.

The process of filing a UIM/UM is similar to the typical claim for auto accidents. It generally involves submitting copies of your medical bills and automobile repair bills. The insurance company will scrutinize these documents and others to determine if your losses are covered by the policy of the other driver.

It is essential to consult an New York City auto accident attorney as soon after the accident as you can and immediately file a UIM/UM particularly in the event that the other driver claims they do not have insurance or have inadequate coverage.
