A motor vehicle accident can happen in seconds, but the consequences can last for months or even years. Injuries, medical bills, lost wages, vehicle damage, and the stress of dealing with insurance companies can make an already difficult situation even harder.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a motor vehicle accident, you may have legal options. At Delgado Law Firm, we help injured individuals understand their rights and pursue the compensation they may be entitled to after an accident.

Motor Vehicle Accidents Can Cause Serious Injuries

Even an accident that initially appears minor can result in injuries that require medical treatment. Some injuries may be immediately apparent, while others may not become noticeable until hours or days after the crash.

Common motor vehicle accident injuries can include:

• Neck and back injuries

• Whiplash

• Broken bones and fractures

• Head and traumatic brain injuries

• Spinal cord injuries

• Soft-tissue injuries

• Internal injuries

• Injuries requiring surgery or ongoing treatment

The physical effects of an accident can also affect your ability to work, care for your family, and maintain your normal daily activities.

You May Be Facing More Than Medical Bills

After an accident, injured individuals may face a variety of financial and personal challenges. Depending on the circumstances of the accident and the applicable law, compensation may potentially include damages related to:

•  Medical expenses

• Future medical treatment

• Lost wages or employment opportunities 

• Property damage or loss 

• Physical pain and suffering

• Other losses related to the accident

Every accident is different. The types and amount of compensation available depend on the specific facts of the case.

Dealing With Insurance Companies After an Accident

One of the most difficult parts of an accident can be dealing with insurance companies while you are recovering from your injuries.

Insurance companies may request information about the accident, your injuries, medical treatment, and other circumstances surrounding your claim. Understanding what information to provide and how the claim process works can be difficult, particularly when you are focused on your recovery.

Having an attorney involved can help you understand the legal process and your options when dealing with the insurance company.
