Accident Victim Frequently Asked Questions:

How does the amount of medical expenses arising from my motor vehicle accident injuries influence the value of my case?

The value of an accident victim's lawsuit is determined by a variety of variables, including the overall cost of your medical expenses. Some injuries require ongoing medical treatment, which will be factored into your total damages.

How does the court determine damages in a car accident for a traumatic brain injury?

Extent of bodily injury is a vital factor of overall damages, both due to resulting medical bills along with loss of income and quality of life. All of these influence the award amount when receiving compensation.

How does the court identify who the negligent driver was?

Where dangerous road conditions cause a motor vehicle accident, can the municipality be held responsible?

If hazardous driving conditions are the source of a car accident because of neglect by the party responsible to keep the roads safe, your attorney will gather all available proof in order to seek compensation for damages. This includes both property and personal injury damages caused by negligence. Even if you are partially responsible, you may seek reimbursement for the portion of damages caused by the other party, including a municipality.

What actions should I take at the scene of my motor vehicle accident?

  1. Call 911 right away.
  2. Request an ambulance if you're injured.
  3. If you're able, take pictures of the property damage and of the other driver's insurance card and driver's license.
  4. Do not accept payments from or offer any kind of sworn statements to an insurer.
  5. Call Mendez & Sanchez for a free consultation on how to handle getting your property repaired.

Can an accident victim expect a reasonable settlement from the insurance company if negotiated without an attorney?

An insurance company's goal is to find a reason to reject your case, or settle a claim dispute for the least amount of money possible. Prior to receiving compensation from an insurance company, a knowledgeable attorney with your wellbeing in mind will help you identify appropriate compensation for damages. Pictures of the scene taken promptly after the accident has occurred are a crucial component of evidence chronicling the damages and how they may have been sustained.

If I get involved in an auto accident, how do I know if there is a cause of action against the other party?

Property damages or bodily injury that may be an outcome of the actions of another party present a potential cause for action for motor vehicle accident victims. Your lawyer will require as much proof as possible to determine responsibility for the damages you have sustained. Taking photos of the scene and visiting a doctor as soon as possible will help begin your healing process, as well as establish the cause of action and develop the evidence required for compensation.

What are the damages you can recoup in an automobile accident, traumatic brain injury case?

Past and future medical expenses, past and future wage loss, pain and suffering, and loss of a normal life are some of the damages for which a victim might seek compensation. The state of health and financial position of the victim before the accident influences the amount of compensation.

What damages can a family collect when the automobile accident victim is a loved one?

There are two causes of actions that can be sought on behalf of a deceased loved one: wrongful death and survival. The family can recoup money under the wrongful death act for the loss of love, affection, and support. This includes loss of wages as well as other forms of financial security and support.

Your loved one's estate can pursue a survival cause of action, and recover damages the victim sustained between the time of injury and the time of their passing.

Why do I need to speak to a lawyer immediately after sustaining an injury?

Determining fault in an accident can be complex, particularly if fault lies with more than one party. A knowledgeable lawyer will help you chronicle all proof of damages, including pictures of the accident and future medical bills, and assess loss of income and changes to quality of life. Discussing the cases with insurance providers is best done with the professional guidance of lawyers who have been beside you from day one.
