When You Can (and Should) Seek Just Compensation for a Car Accident
In South Carolina, seeking just compensation for a car accident starts with determining who (or what company or government entity) is responsible for your collision. This will allow you to determine what type of insurance claim to file (and where to file it); and, with proof of what happened, you can effectively seek the financial compensation you deserve. When you hire Luke to represent you, he will investigate promptly to determine the cause of your collision, and then he will use the available evidence to seek just compensation on your behalf.
When can (and should) you file an insurance claim? The following are all common causes of car accidents for which just compensation may be available:
- Aggressive or Reckless Driving – Including speeding, tailgating, running red lights and stop signs, and weaving through traffic.
- Careless Driving – Including turning or merging without looking, crossing the center line, and failing to yield the right of way.
- Distracted Driving – Including following GPS directions, talking on the phone, texting, and using social media behind the wheel.
- Impaired Driving – Including driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs and driving while fatigued.
- Non-Driver-Related Factors – Including vehicle defects, road defects, and roadway hazards such as dangerous construction zones or debris.
Again, these are just some of the most common examples. After a car accident, it is important not to make any assumptions about what may or may not have happened. Informed decision-making is essential for protecting your legal rights, and this starts with putting an experienced Bluffton car accident lawyer on your side.
