Accident Victims: Who Will Be Held Liable For Your Injuries

Road safety laws are in place to protect pedestrians and other drivers on the road. They can also help to determine who is at fault in an accident. Drivers who are hurt in vehicle accidents caused by another negligent driver who was either driving distracted, aggressive and or under the influence of drugs or alcohol deserve to be compensated for their damages. After being involved in a serious accident, monetary damages can quickly add up to thousands of dollars from medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. While vehicle accident attorneys first urge you to seek medical treatment, they also recommend to contact a vehicle accident attorney to determine what your damages are while also identifying additional parties who may be responsible for your damages. 

When in an accident, there may be many obstacles that a victim will need to face, including uninsured or underinsured drivers and or facing the hassle of properly submitting a claim to an insurance company to recover maximum compensation. Illinois law requires vehicle insurance agencies to provide uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. By hiring a vehicle accident attorney, you can make sure that you and your loved ones are treated fairly and given all of your rights.   

If you were involved in an accident and suffered severe injuries because of another negligent party, you may be entitled to legal compensation. The vehicle accident attorneys at Malman Law can also identify additional liable parties to provide maximum compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering to ease your worries.
