The deadline for filing a personal injury claim is called a statute of limitations. The statute of limitations for most personal injury cases varies based on the state you are in and the type of case you are bringing. You may lose your right to pursue compensation if you do not file your claim on time. We recommend acting quickly to ensure your case is filed within the legal time frame.
Compensation depends on several factors, including the severity of your injuries, medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Our attorneys will evaluate your case to determine the appropriate compensation.
While you can file a claim on your own, having an experienced lawyer can significantly increase your chances of receiving fair compensation. We handle negotiations with insurance companies and represent your interests in court if necessary.
Even if you were partially at fault, you may still be entitled to compensation. Many states follow comparative fault rules, meaning you can recover damages based on your percentage of fault. And some states require insurance companies to pay even if you were entirely at fault. Consult with a lawyer to see what you are owed.
The time it takes to resolve a motor vehicle accident case depends on various factors, including the complexity of the case, the severity of your injuries, and negotiations with insurance companies. Some cases may settle in a few months, while others may take longer.
Contact a Postman Law’s personal injury attorney immediately so we can explain your rights and who can file the claim (e.g. spouses, children, or parents).
Proving liability in a multi-vehicle pileup can be complicated because multiple drivers may share fault. Many states use comparative or contributory negligence to split liability among multiple parties. It’s important to contact an experienced motor vehicle accident attorney to evaluate your case. Postman Law offers free case consultations so you understand your legal options.
If the at fault driver has no insurance, your uninsured motorist (UM) coverage helps pay for your medical bills and other damages. You can also file a lawsuit to hold them personally liable for your damages including medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Evidence that strengthens a truck accident injury claim includes:
- Regulatory violations
- Accident scene documentation
- Medical records
- Trucking company records
- Proof of damages
Yes, in most cases you can file a car accident claim without a police report, but it can make the process more complicated. Insurance companies and courts often use police reports as a key piece of evidence to establish fault and document damages.
A T-bone car accident happens when the front of one vehicle crashes into the side of another, forming a “T” shape at the point of impact. These accidents often happen at intersections when a driver runs a red light or fails to yield.
Pain and suffering in a car accident claim refers to the physical pain, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life caused by your injuries. It’s considered a non-economic damage meaning it’s compensation for things you can’t put an exact dollar value on like ongoing pain, anxiety, depression, or inability to enjoy daily activities. Insurance companies or courts usually calculate pain and suffering based on the following:
- The severity and duration of your injuries
- Medical treatment required and recovery time
- How the accident affects your daily life and activities
- Any emotional or psychological impact
This is separate from economic damages like medical bills, lost wages, or vehicle repairs, and it’s meant to compensate you for the real human impact of the accident.
Drunk driving accidents are a leading cause of traffic crashes. According to the latest federal data, alcohol‑impaired drivers are involved in roughly 30% of all traffic fatalities.
Car accident settlements are calculated based on the total damages you’ve suffered and how liability is assigned.
In most cases, you do not pay federal income taxes on a car accident settlement for physical injuries. It’s important to consult a tax professional to understand whether or not your settlement will be exempt from federal income taxes.
Getting traffic camera footage after a car accident can be really helpful, especially to use in a legal case. Most government‑owned traffic cameras require a public records or Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. Our attorneys and case management team will help you gather all crucial evidence needed so you don’t have to worry about your claim, which is why time is of the essence after a car accident, so contact Postman Law today for a free case evaluation.
Common Types of Car Accidents
Head-On Collisions
This type of accident involves two vehicles crashing front-to-front, and can be very severe. Wrong-way driving, swerving, or loss of control are common causes.
Rear-End Collisions
This accident happens when one vehicle hits the back of another. They are often caused by tailgating, distracted driving, or sudden stops.
Side-Impact Collisions or T-Bone Accidents
This is when one vehicle hits the side of another, often at intersections. They can be very dangerous, especially for the person on the side of impact.
Hit-and-Run Accidents
This is any accident where the at-fault driver involved fails to stop, exchange info, or offer help if needed.
Multi-Vehicle Pileups
These accidents involve three or more vehicles, and often occur on highways. They are usually caused by chain-reaction crashes in poor visibility or slippery conditions.
Sideswipe Accidents
These collisions occur when two vehicles traveling next to each other brush sides due to improper lane changes or drifting out of a lane.
Car Accident Injury Types
Whiplash and Neck Injuries
This is caused by the rapid back-and-forth motion of the neck which is particularly common in rear-end collisions. Symptoms include neck pain, headaches, stiffness, and dizziness.
Back and Spinal Chord Injuries
This includes everything from herniated discs and spinal fractures to paralysis and can lead to long-term mobility issues and chronic pain.
Head Injuries and Traumatic Brain Injuries
This is caused by hitting your head on a window, steering wheel, or airbag, and ranges from a concussion to serious brain trauma.
Broken Bones and Fractures
Arms, legs, ribs, collarbones, and facial bones are often broken during serious accidents and can require surgery and long-term rehab to heal.
Internal Injuries
This consists of damage to muscles, ligaments, liver, lungs or tendons such as a sprain, strain, or bruise. These are often overlooked at first but can cause lasting pain.
Burns
Caused by flammable situations, gas leaks, or battery explosions, these injuries can range from mild to severe.
Disfigurement
Disfigurement caused by a car accident can leave lasting physical and emotional scars that can lead to long-term psychological distress and diminished quality of life.
Death
Losing a loved one in a car accident is completely devastating. Postman helps get you compensation to cover funeral expenses, lost financial support, and the emotional toll of your loss.
