Car accidents are a common occurrence on our nation’s roads. If you’re injured in an accident, you will have medical expenses and car repair costs. These will likely be covered by an insurance company. It is sometimes possible to settle your claim with the insurance company. You may need to file a lawsuit to recover the expenses resulting from the accident, however.

About Personal Injury Cases
Law and civility demand the use of care when interacting with others. If a car, truck, motorcycle or boating accident happens, in most cases someone did not exercise the necessary care that could have prevented an injury.
Courts will always look at accidents and make decisions about:
- How much care all the parties owed each other
- Which party and what lack of care caused the accident
- What injuries occurred as a result of the accident
- Who should pay what to whom based on fault
More than one party could have been the cause of the accident. Courts could order all parties at fault to pay based on their share of the fault.
