If you or someone you love has been injured in an auto accident, you may be eligible for compensation for your injuries, medical expenses, pain and suffering, wage loss, as well as other general damages. In addition to medical expenses, ambulance bills, vehicle repairs, etc., many times there is lost income because the injured party will be forced to take time off work, reduce hours, or even stop working altogether.
LMK Legal believes there are many non-economic damages that are important to your claim as well. Emotional issues such as pain and suffering, loss of consortium, inconvenience, loss of enjoyment of life, and emotional anguish all contribute to the amount of compensation you may be eligible for. Frequently, accident victims are left with overwhelming feelings of confusion and fear, which reduce quality of life and cause anxiety about the future. A skilled Miami car accident lawyer can help ensure that these emotional and psychological damages are properly considered in your case.
To complicate matters, sometimes automobile accidents, truck accidents, or motorcycle accidents require legal action, or it may be clear who caused the accident, but the negligent party may not admit fault because they want to avoid liability. As accidents in Miami—whether involving cars, trucks, or motorcycles—can quickly become complex, and there is no set formula for calculating damages, it is crucial to consult with an attorney experienced and knowledgeable in both personal injury law and insurance law.
Determining negligence as soon as possible is critical as a first step in holding the appropriate party accountable for their actions. Many accident victims may consider whether they can represent myself after a car wreck, but it’s important to understand that handling these cases without legal expertise can significantly impact the outcome. Consulting with an experienced attorney ensures that your rights are protected and that all aspects of the case, including negligence, are thoroughly investigated.
Insurance companies have lawyers on their side who are looking to pay out as little as possible on auto accident claims, if not deny liability altogether. A personal injury attorney who is well versed in the laws pertaining to your case, as well as all procedural rules, can obtain a settlement in instances when a claim may have otherwise been denied or when it’s necessary to fight for the maximum in financial justice.
