Auto Accident Injury Attorney
Car accidents are some of the most common and some of the deadliest accidents in South Carolina – and across the nation – and the related losses are immense. If you’ve been injured by another driver’s gross negligence, protecting your legal rights and pursuing your rightful compensation is key, and an experienced Spartanburg injury attorney can help you with that.
Car Accident Claims Hinge on Gross Negligence
Your car accident claim will be based on proving the other driver’s gross negligence in the matter, which can take all the following dangerous forms:
- Distraction – While there are many forms of distraction to choose from, texting behind the wheel is considered the most alarming.
- Impairment – Driving under the influence of either alcohol or drugs plays a primary role in far too many deadly car accidents on our roadways.
- Excess speed – When motorists exceed the speed limit or drive too fast in relation to the road’s condition, they increase the risk that accidents will happen and increase the risk that they’ll be deadly.
- Exhaustion – Drowsy drivers can experience impairments that are similar to those experienced by drunk drivers, making them very dangerous drivers.
- Failure to Follow the Rules of the Road – Drivers owe a duty of care to everyone else on the road, and failing to follow all applicable safety rules can lead to serious accidents that cause serious injuries.
Your car accident attorney will skillfully gather the evidence necessary to prove that the other driver’s gross negligence was the direct cause of your losses.
Your Physical, Financial, and Emotional Losses
In your car accident claim, you can seek compensation for your losses in each of the following categories:
- Property damage to your vehicle and to anything inside it that was damaged
- Your medical costs, which may need to address related future healthcare needs
- Lost wages, which can include losses related to your earning potential
- Your physical and psychological pain and suffering, which can exceed your other losses combined
Ensuring that your damages are all well accounted for will play a critical role in your recovery.
Important First Steps
In the aftermath of a car accident, there are some important first steps you should take in protection of your claim and your health, including:
- Get the immediate medical care you need and follow your medical team’s instructions and advice carefully.
- Discuss your claim with a seasoned car accident attorney as soon as possible.
- While you focus on regaining your health and well-being, allow your attorney to handle the insurance company on your behalf – you’re not required to make a statement, and you’re well advised not to.
The insurance company is invested in keeping its profits and your settlement low. Still, you can trust your car accident attorney to engage in skilled negotiations that support your rights. And if you don’t receive a just settlement offer, your attorney will be well prepared to take the matter to court – where they will fiercely advocate for the compensation you deserve.
