Your Rights After a Car Accident Claim

Personal injury claims arise when an individual suffers harm due to the negligent, reckless, or intentional actions of another party. To establish a claim, the plaintiff must prove that:

The defendant owed them a duty of care.
The defendant breached that duty.
The breach directly caused the plaintiff’s injuries.

Damages in personal injury cases can include:

Medical expenses
Lost wages
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Other losses

The personal injury claims process typically involves:

Notifying the Insurance Company : Informing the insurance provider about the accident.
Investigation by Claims Adjuster : The adjuster investigates the claim to determine its validity.
Settlement Negotiation : Most cases are resolved through settlement. If an agreement cannot be reached, the case may proceed to trial.

The timeline for a personal injury claim can vary, typically taking 12-14 months but ranging from 6 months to several years depending on the complexity of the case.
