Your Rights After a Serious Car Accident
When you have been involved in a car accident, knowing your rights and your options for recovering monetary compensation is important. When your injuries are serious, one of the most important rights that you should exercise is the right to work with a car accident lawyer. When you work with our experienced Lacey car accident attorneys at the Khan Injury Law, we can help you to navigate all elements of the car accident claims process.
In addition to hiring an attorney, you also have a right to:
- File a claim against the at-fault driver’s insurance company;
- File a claim against your own insurance company if you maintain certain coverage types; and
- File a lawsuit directly against the other driver.
In order to succeed in bringing forth a claim against another party, you’ll need to prove that the other party was responsible for your injuries. We can help.
Causes of Car Accidents and Car Accident Liability
Liability for a car accident, which refers to legal responsibility, is based on fault; whoever causes a car accident is responsible for paying for it. Car accidents almost always happen because of negligence – a driver’s failure to exercise the degree of care that is required for the situation. Examples of negligence that can lead to car accidents include:
- Speeding;
- Driving too fast for conditions;
- Driving while distracted;
- Driving while intoxicated or impaired;
- Performing illegal maneuvers;
- Running a red light;
- Failing to yield; and
- More.
While most car accidents are the result of a driver’s negligence, some car accidents are caused by defective vehicles/vehicle parts or poor road or environment conditions. When this is the case, a claim can be filed against a third party other than the driver.
