If you are not sure how to answer any of these questions, you should seek legal advice. When you are injured by another person's negligence, your only choice is to seek financial compensation for the damages suffered. While money will not heal a bad back, grow a new limb, or give a quadriplegic the ability to rise from a wheelchair, it will make it easier for the victim to fight the new challenges they face in their reduced capacity.
Most people carry insurance coverage to protect themselves for their negligence.
This insurance coverage will pay for a lawyer to defend claims of negligence and will pay damages within the policy limits available. In addition to this coverage, many times you will have purchased coverage to protect your interests in case of accident. This may include Health Insurance coverage, Property damage coverage, and coverage in case the person who injured you was uninsured. Many people don't call their insurance carrier because they don't want their insurance rates to increase. It is very important to know what coverage is available for your protection.
