Mansfield Car Accident Lawyer

When most people get behind the wheel, they operate their vehicle in a safe manner that will not injure others. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Motorists sometimes drive while impaired or distracted, or they may violate traffic law by running red lights or failing to yield the right-of-way to other drivers. Any of these actions or inactions can cause a crash that results in serious injuries.

After being hurt by a careless or reckless driver, you should not be responsible for paying your medical bills, or miss out on your lost income. These are just two examples of the losses you will suffer after a crash. To obtain compensation for these and other harm you suffered, you can file a claim against the liable party. Our Mansfield car accident lawyer can help you do it while you focus on getting better.

Common Causes of Car Accidents in Mansfield

Any careless act on the road can cause a crash. However, there are some that are more commonly seen in car accident cases than others. These include:

Tailgating
Drowsy driving
Distracted driving
Speeding
Drunk driving
Reckless driving
Improper road conditions
Defective or faulty auto parts

Determining what caused your accident is not always easy. For example, you may believe that another driver failed to yield the right-of-way to you, but an improper road condition may have created a dangerous intersection or merge lane. Our Mansfield car accident lawyer knows how to investigate these cases to determine what caused your crash.

Damages Available After a Crash

Personal injury claims, including those involving car accidents, are meant to compensate you and return you to the same physical, mental, and financial condition you were in prior to the crash. While nothing can undo your accident, financial compensation can relieve the financial burden your injuries will impose.

Compensation in car accident claims are divided into economic damages and non-economic damages. Economic damages refer to losses that have an actual dollar value such as your medical expenses, lost wages, and damage to your vehicle and other property.

Non-economic damages are those that are not as easy to quantify because they do not have a concrete dollar value. Common non-economic damages include pain and suffering, loss of consortium, and permanent scarring and disfigurement. It is important to work with a lawyer who can accurately value all of your damages so you obtain a settlement that will fully cover your losses. If you accept a settlement and learn in the future that you require more compensation, you cannot go back to the insurance company.
