Every year, well over two million people are rushed to an emergency room after an automobile accident. Each accident affected an unknown number of other people: families, friends and co-workers. Most of those who were injured will survive, but not all. Most will be able to recover from their injuries and continue with their normal activities, but not all.
When the accident was caused because of someone else’s negligence, that adds another level of pain. People can’t help thinking that the accident shouldn’t have happened, that if the other driver had not been drinking or speeding or talking on the phone then everything would still be as it was. But the accident did happen and life is changed forever.
Out legal system supports the rights of these accident victims to receive just compensation for their injuries. How long that process will take varies widely. The insurance company would like to settle as soon as possible, believing that will be the cheapest for them. Since it’s impossible to know how long treatment will be needed for many injuries, it is generally a bad idea to accept any early offers. Life is very difficult in many ways after a serious injury. Medical bills pile up at an alarming rate and the every-day bills don’t stop. Some relationships become stronger in a stressful situation, but not all. Some shatter. No amount of money can ever make things right, but fair recompense is due. The process itself can be difficult and confusing; the right legal representation can be an invaluable resource.
