Car accidents can be a lot of different things. You could have a fender bender, and while it isn’t serious, you can still lose your job due to your injuries. Otherwise, you could flip your car and end up breaking something important or go to the hospital for serious injuries. For the more severe cases, you should call DDRB Lawyers to help you file the appropriate type of claim.
We will now see into different types of car accident claims.
- Rear-end collisions
These are probably the most common car accident claims. Most people think that because they were rear-ended, they won’t get anything out of it. But those who have had this experience know that it isn’t always the case. This is because even minimal damage to your car and injuries can give you compensation for pain and suffering, lost work hours, and even property damage.
- Side impact and side swipe collisions
Side impact and sideswipe collisions can be very harmful, even if your car has minimal damage. If you have such a collision, then, like in the case of rear-end collision, you could get injured or hurt so badly that you could get better through surgery.
- Intoxicated driving accidents
When you are driving under the influence of alcohol, you could really risk your life and others around you on the road. So, if you have been involved in a car accident caused by a drunk driver, you may be entitled to compensation. All you need to do is read the terms and conditions of the claim in order to know what kind of compensation is offered.
- Distracted driving accidents
Folks who text, talk on their cell phone, or are using their GPS while driving is a danger on the road. Because of this, you might get into an accident and get injured. If you did not expect it, then your claim for compensation may be more than what you would have asked for. So, in order to avoid losses, you should avoid texting and talking on your cell phone while driving.
- Pedestrian accidents
Pedestrian accidents can be serious, especially if a child or a senior citizen is involved. You can file your claim in order to get compensation for pain and suffering, income lost due to hospitalization, property damage, and other damages.
