In the aftermath of a car accident, you are likely juggling multiple stresses—medical concerns, vehicle damage, and considerable worry, to name a few. It's important to understand you have legal options available to you to help alleviate these stresses. Below, London, KY-based personal injury attorney Bruce Bentley, Attorney at Law, discusses some possible legal avenues to pursue after a car crash.

3 Options to Consider After a Car Accident

Deal With Insurers

Insurance companies can be exasperating to deal with, even under the best of circumstances. When you've been in a car crash, they can make it difficult for you to get the coverage you need and deserve. A personal injury attorney will speak to insurers on your behalf, negotiating as necessary to find the resolutions that are most helpful to your situation.

File a Lawsuit

A crash that resulted in vehicle damage or moderate to severe injury is basis enough to file a legal claim against the responsible party. If you feel you were the party at fault, you should never admit this to the other driver involved or to any insurance company. Part of a lawsuit is an investigation into what happened, and it may end up that you were not entirely at fault. If you were the victim, you have a right to pursue compensation through legal channels. In both cases, a personal injury attorney will protect your rights and help you navigate the legal system.

Seek Compensation

There are a variety of areas for which you can be compensated after a car crash. Medical bills, lost wages, and vehicle damage are among the most common. However, you can also seek financial remuneration for instances like pain and suffering, as well as any loss of enjoyment you've experienced in your life as a direct result of the accident.
