Recovering Compensation for a Car Accident

If you were the victim of a car accident that was caused by somebody else's negligent driving, you can take steps to obtain compensation that will address your injuries and financial losses. In the aftermath of an accident, you can expect to receive calls from insurance companies, and they may offer you a quick settlement. Even if you are concerned about the financial effects of an accident, you should not attempt to negotiate with an insurance company without the help of a lawyer, as you are likely to get lowballed. Our personal injury attorneys can handle negotiations and all other communications with insurance companies, and we will ensure that you will not be taken advantage of.

To secure compensation for the injuries you have suffered in a car accident, the burden falls on you to prove that the accident was caused by the other driver's negligence. Different acts can constitute negligence, including:

• Driving under the influence
• Excessive speeding
• Texting while driving
• Disregarding traffic signs or lights
• Following too closely

The personal injury attorneys at Newland & Newland, LLP will dive into the details of the accident to gather evidence and build a case, including going through police reports and speaking to witnesses on your behalf. We will make sure evidence is preserved while it is still available so that all available information will be used to support your claim and ensure that you can recover the compensation you deserve.

Wrongful Death Suits

The death of a loved one due to a preventable accident is likely to cause you to experience emotional turmoil. There is simply no replacement for a missing person in your life, but recovering compensation through a wrongful death claim can ease the weight on your shoulders by helping cover costs associated with the death. These costs might include:

• Funeral costs
• The loss of income earned by a family's primary provider
• Medical bills for treatment the victim received before their death
• Loss of benefits a family would have received, such as health insurance coverage

Our personal injury attorneys can evaluate the specifics of your case and make sure you are rightfully compensated for your devastating loss. In addition to the financial losses your family has experienced, you may also receive compensation to address the grief, sorrow, and emotional trauma you have suffered.

Different parties may be eligible to collect compensation through a wrongful death claim. In most cases, immediate family members such as a person's spouse or children, will be able to receive compensation. Under certain circumstances, siblings or parents may be compensated as well. The attorneys at Newland & Newland, LLP will take all appropriate steps to determine the value of a wrongful death claim, and we will work to ensure that a family will receive the maximum compensation they deserve.
