Am I eligible for compensation if someone else caused my accident and injuries?

If you’ve been in an accident caused by another person you may be eligible for financial compensation that can help ease the financial and healthcare cost burden caused by your accident. 
Some of the most common types of accidents where a victim may be eligible for compensation are:

1. Car Accidents: These are the most common types of personal injury accidents that can cause both major and minor injuries for individuals involved. (i.e. drunk driving, speeding, texting and driving, etc.) 
2. Truck Accidents: Though these types of accidents are not as common, they can cause some of the most life-changing injuries or even lead to fatalities. 
3. Product and Service Liabilities: Businesses and manufacturers are legally required to ensure that whatever services and/or products they put out into the market are safe for clients and consumers. If your injury is caused by a defective or faulty product or service, the manufacturer, business or other party involved may be held responsible for your injury and/or other damages. 
4. On the Job Accidents: Many employers have Workers’ Compensation Insurance, and others do not and are Non-Subscribers. It is important for your attorney to know the difference. 

Some of the most common types recoverable damages in a personal injury claim are:

1. Medical Expenses
2. Physical Impairment
3. Lost Wages and Loss of Earnings Capacity
4. Pain and Suffering
5. Emotional Distress
