Frequently Asked Car Accident Questions
Car wrecks can have a tremendous impact on your life. It’s only natural to have a lot of questions as you consider moving forward with a claim. Below are some of the most common questions we receive from clients, along with our answers. We hope to provide some clarity for you during this difficult time.
How long does it take to resolve a claim or suit for injuries?
It varies considerably. It could be a few weeks to months. If a suit is filed, it can take anywhere from a year to over a year to reach a resolution.
What is the average settlement for a car accident in Gwinnett County?
There are many different types of car accidents and various factors that contribute to determining the amount of settlement the victim should receive. This includes the severity of the accident, the injuries sustained from the accident and who was at fault.
The best way to understand how much your case may be worth is by consulting with an experienced car accident lawyer who can help you build a strong claim and determine the appropriate strategy to seek the compensation you deserve.
What types of compensation can I seek with the help of a car accident lawyer?
There are two common types of damages that compensation can cover if you’re injured in a car accident: economic and noneconomic.
Economic damages refer to anything financially related, such as your medical bills, lost wages from being unable to work or lost income if you’re unable to return to work due to a permanent injury.
Noneconomic damages include all other damages you have suffered due to the injury, such as your pain and suffering, physical limitations, emotional distress or the loss of enjoyment of life due to your injury.
A skilled car accident lawyer can help determine the full scope of your injury and how it’s impacted your daily life and your future. By considering all these factors, they can seek a positive settlement that will cover all your damages.
If I am injured, how long do I have to bring a claim?
The amount of time you are given to bring a claim is governed by the statute of limitations. Each type of claim has a different statute of limitations. Sometimes, there are other deadlines that must be met in order to bring a claim. You should retain counsel as early as possible to make sure you do not miss any of these important deadlines.
What are the most common car accident injuries that require legal action?
Car accident injuries can range from minor to catastrophic. Some injuries last only a few months, while others may be long-term and life-changing. The most common car accident injuries that require seeking legal action include:
- Whiplash
- Broken bones
- Spinal cord injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Wrongful death
If you or a loved one sustained any of these injuries or if you’ve lost a loved one due to another’s negligence in a car wreck, you should consult with a car accident attorney as soon as possible.
