Yes. Both documented and undocumented immigrants are legally permitted to file a personal injury claim after a car accident. Not only are you permitted, but it is your right just like everyone else. You have the right to seek financial compensation for your injuries, damages, hospital bills, and any funeral costs in the event you lose a loved one in a fatal accident. While there may be some difficulty in claiming compensation for lost wages from missing work if you do not have work authorization before the time of the accident, seeking restitution for future income is achievable. You should not fear being deported when filing a personal injury claim, but we understand the need to feel safe, so it is important that you contact a Charlotte personal injury lawyer as soon as possible.
