While an everyday occurrence, car crashes can have catastrophic consequences on both negligent drivers and their victims. Whether a vehicle smashed into you while crossing an intersection, sideswiped your car while merging on the highway, or rear-ended you while stuck in rush hour traffic, you may have suffered severe injuries that you may be forced to contend with for the rest of your life. Unfortunately, some accidents can even result in the loss of close friends or family members. The collision may have totaled your vehicle and caused other property damage, leaving you with steep repair costs that your insurance company refuses to cover.

Most insurance companies are more worried about saving money than an accident victim’s best interests. Adjusters work to get victims to settle for as little as possible. As a result, even your own insurance company may try and downplay your injuries and make a lowball settlement offer. If your insurance company has offered a settlement for your car accident, you must realize that you only have one chance to settle. Upon accepting an offer, even if your injuries significantly worsen, you will be unable to seek additional compensation. Vital impending surgeries and other medical treatments, being unable to work, and any additional problems that may occur could meaningfully increase your actual damages. That is why you should never take an insurance company’s settlement offer before at least consulting with a lawyer.

Regardless of how “minor” your car accident seemed, your claim may be strong enough to pursue monetary compensation and damages. You will most likely qualify for a lawsuit if your collision resulted in any of the following consequences:

1. Your Vehicle Sustained Extensive Damage: If your car sustained major damage surpassing the amount that your insurance company will cover, you might be able to file a claim against the responsible party for repair or replacement expenses.
2. Injuries Have Decreased Your Standard of Living: You have the right to be compensated for all of the ways that the crash negatively affected your quality of life. For instance, if you were an athlete but your injury has prevented you from running, you may be entitled to money for your loss of enjoyment.
3. You are Unable to Work: Whether injuries keep you out of work temporarily or make returning to the workforce impossible, you may be encountering financial difficulties, especially when considering your hospital bills and car repair costs. Victims can sue for economic damages resulting from missing work. Additionally, if your injuries force you to take a lower-paying position, you may be eligible to receive money for reduced earning capacity.
4. Passengers can Bring Claims: Do you know that the passengers in your car can file a claim against you for damages? It is extremely important to retain a highly experienced car crash lawyer to determine whether you are responsible for the accident or injuries to a passenger.
5. A Wrongful Death Occurred: If you lost a friend or family member in an accident, we recommend filing a claim.

Without question, it can be worth it to sue a negligent driver, especially when the insurance refuses to pay the amount that you deserve. The last thing you want is to be stressed about obtaining the much-needed compensation.
