What are the typical issues that I will face in making a claim for my injuries from a car accident?
A claim made against another driver or vehicle owner is called a tort claim. It is usually based upon the concept of carelessness or negligence although it can also be based upon an intentional or reckless act. Auto accident lawyers know that the three categories of issues that typically arise in a tort claim after an automobile accident are the following: • Liability • Damages • Insurance Coverage Liability refers to the question of who is at fault and to what degree. This is a very important question or, more commonly, a series of questions. Did the other driver exceed the speed limit? Did you fail to stop at a stop sign? Were the brakes on the truck properly maintained? These are the kinds of questions that must be answered by solid proof. The insurance company defending your claim obviously wants to minimize or eliminate the fault of its driver and to maximize your fault. Damages refers to the injuries or losses that were caused by the accident. You are only entitled to be compensa
