Damages Our Tuskegee Car Accident Attorney Will Seek
According to the Alabama Department of Transportation 2022 Crash Facts, there were 144,263 crashes across the state, 907 of which were fatal. Though crashes went down that year, fatalities went up. The most common actions by the driver that contributed to the accidents included:
- Driving on the wrong side of the road
- Driving under the influence
- Speeding
- Running off the road
Car accidents can result in a wide range of injuries for those involved, from minor bruising to catastrophic injuries like:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries
- Head, neck, and back trauma
- Dislocations
- Crushed and broken bones
- Amputations
Medical care for such catastrophic injuries is long and expensive and may even require medical attention from the closest level-one trauma center to Tuskegee: USA Health University Hospital in Mobile. Plus, there is the very real possibility that you will be unable to work while you recover.
You should not be responsible for the losses you have suffered due to the negligent actions of another. Our Tuskegee car accident lawyer will investigate your accident and compile the damages you are owed.
Economic Damages in a Tuskegee Car Accident Claim
Economic damages have a direct financial value. They typically include such things as the following:
- Medical Expenses: You can demand compensation for your current medical bills as well as any healthcare needs you may have in the future.
- Lost Income: Your lost wages, including any tips, bonuses, and benefits, may be included in your personal injury claim.
- Reduced Earning Capacity: You may also seek compensation if your injuries prevent you from returning to your old job or career.
- Property Damage: The repairs or replacement of your car is compensable, but so are personal effects, such as your smartphone.
Noneconomic Damages in a Tuskegee Car Accident Claim
Noneconomic damages are more subtle and reflect a loss in your quality of life. You may seek such noneconomic damages as the following:
- Pain and Suffering: The physical pain and discomfort you endured in the accident and your recovery are recognized as a damage you may seek.
- Emotional Distress: Your mental anguish, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and insomnia are also valid damages to seek.
- Loss of Enjoyment of Life: If your injuries prevent you from enjoying past hobbies and activities, you have the right to request compensation for this loss.
- Loss of Consortium: Your spouse may also seek compensation if your injuries have affected your relationship.
Our Tuskegee Car Accident Lawyer Can Manage Your Claim
Your only responsibility following the car accident should be to see your doctors and follow their orders. Our Tuskegee car accident lawyer will manage your claim while you recover from your injuries. We will:
- Investigate: We will investigate the accident scene and identify the parties involved.
- Collect: We will collect all relevant evidence to prove negligence.
- Speak: We will speak on your behalf to the insurance companies, their attorneys, and the at-fault driver.
- Consult: We will consult with financial advisors, medical professionals, and accident reconstruction specialists.
- Represent: We will represent your best interests during settlement negotiations, and if we cannot reach a fair settlement, we will represent you in court.
We Will Prove Negligence in Your Car Accident in Tuskegee
To file a successful insurance claim, we must prove negligence. We present negligence in four parts:
- Duty of Care: The other driver or party had a legal obligation to your safety.
- Breach of Duty: The other party failed in their duty to you.
- Causation: That failure led to the accident and your injuries
- Damages: You now suffer physical injuries, financial losses, and emotional trauma.
Each of those four parts is proven with evidence, which we will collect during our investigation. The evidence we search for may include such items as the following:
- Medical records
- Police reports
- Photos from the accident scene, your injuries, and the cars
- Traffic cameras, business surveillance, and dashcams
- Witness statements
- Pay stubs and financial statements
You Have Two Years to Take Legal Action
Personal injury cases have a statute of limitations, a legal deadline, that you must meet, or you may lose your right to compensation. Under AL Code § 6-2-38, you typically have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit against the responsible party with the Macon County courthouse. If you miss this deadline, the courts may bat your case.
The right to sue is a powerful tool we use to leverage settlement negotiations in your favor. If you lose this right, the insurance company will be unlikely to negotiate. However, if you contact us soon enough, we can ensure your case complies with the state’s statute.
Also, contacting us as soon as possible after the accident has the added benefit of securing evidence before it can be lost or destroyed. We can interview witnesses before memories fade and collect physical evidence from the accident scene.
