What are my Rights?
When involved in a car accident caused by the negligence of another person, you have specific rights to compensation:
- Property damage: you are entitled to fair compensation for damage to the vehicle based on the amount of damage. If the repairs are less than the fair market value of the vehicle, you are entitled to compensation for the repairs. Otherwise, you are entitled to compensation for the fair market value of the vehicle.
- Transportation: if your car is to be repaired, you may be entitled to coverage for a rental vehicle until your car is repaired.
- Medical care: it is important to obtain proper medical treatment immediately following an accident. Although you may be limited by your own car insurance and health insurance coverage, recovery can be sought against the negligent individual.
- Income: although compensation may not immediately follow the accident, you may be entitled to compensation for lost wages.
- Insurance settlement offers: the insurance company may offer you money to settle the claim. You are not required to accept this offer. You should speak with a lawyer before taking any money or signing any statements. Otherwise, your right to full compensation may be jeopardized.
