As long as you are not 100 percent at fault for your car accident you can still recover money damages for your injuries from the other party who caused your accident. Most accidents involve some degree of comparative fault between the parties. If you've been injured in a car accident, you should consult an attorney.

Most car accident cases settle before trial, however, you must be prepared to go all the way to jury verdict. If the defense counsel or the insurance adjuster senses that you are not ready to go the distance, they will try and settle for less than full value. Make sure your case is prepared to go all the way.

Several factors influence the amount you might obtain from a car accident settlement. The seriousness of your injury plays a significant role in determining this amount, as it affects your medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and many other types of damages. The amount of insurance coverage available plays another significant part in the outcome of your settlement. Of course, a lawyer’s experience building personal injury cases, handling insurance companies, and negotiating fair settlements is yet another important consideration in this equation.

When searching for a personal injury lawyer, you should ask questions about their experience, services and results. You only have one chance to recover and finding the right lawyer can make a big difference in the final outcome of your case, the level of services that you receive, and the amount of compensation that you are awarded.

If you suffered injuries in a construction accident, you must report the accident to your foreman or employer, but there are other steps you also must take if you hope to receive compensation for your injury. First things first! If you have been hurt, seek medical care and attention immediately. If you need an ambulance, ask for one to be called. Your construction foreman may or may not be aware of your accident. Do not assume they received word of the incident. Even if you verbally told your co-worker about it, this notification will not always help you if your employer does not have actual knowledge of your construction accident.

You may be entitled to money damages for personal injuries, including pain and suffering, past and future lost wages and medical expenses in a construction injury lawsuit. If you were married at the time of your accident, your spouse may also make a claim for loss of services. If you were a union member, you may also be entitled to lost union benefits. The dollar amount you are entitled to will depend upon the degree of your damages, and the impact that the accident has had upon your life.

Look for an attorney with significant experience and a proven track record in construction accident cases. Look at the attorneys’ website and review their case results to see if they have handled cases similar to yours. Find out what past clients have to say about this attorney or law firm by reading reviews. You want a lawyer that is available to speak to you when you have questions or issues come up.

If you have been injured, seek immediate medical attention and make certain you tell ambulance personnel, treating doctors and nurses exactly what happened and what hurts. Report your accident to your superior. Don’t allow anyone to convince you not to seek necessary medical attention or to give false information about your accident. Gather all information completely, if you can’t ask a co-worker or friend to assist you by taking photos of the accident scene and area with their phone.
