Car Accidents and Liability
As briefly mentioned above, you have the right to file a lawsuit after being injured in a car accident, but do you know why you have the right to sue? The right to sue is based on liability. If the accident that you suffered occurred through no fault of your own, you could take action against the liable party. In car accident claims, liability is based on negligence. To prove that a party (a driver) was negligent, your injuries must have been directly caused by a breach of duty. All drivers have a duty of care to other drivers who share the road; they must exercise reasonable care to prevent accidents. A reasonable level of care is equivalent to driving within the posted speed limit, following all traffic laws, and yielding when required, for example. When drivers breach their duty of care and drive recklessly, they could cause auto accidents which could result in injuries. If your injuries were caused by the negligent actions of a driver, you will likely have grounds to file a lawsuit. If you would like more information about your right to sue after being the victim of a reckless and negligent driver, you must contact an experienced San Francisco car accident lawyer who can speak Spanish. Our Spanish speaking injury attorneys in San Francisco, CA will provide you with the expertise that you need to file a claim against the driver that caused your injuries.
Compensation for Car Accident Claims
Do you have the right to receive compensation? How much compensation could you receive? What categories of compensation could you receive? These questions should be reserved for a Spanish speaking auto accident attorney—considering that the answers to those questions depend on the details of your accident claim. Before meeting with an auto accident attorney in San Francisco that can speak Spanish, you should be familiar with the types of compensation that are often available for recovery. Although every claim is different, some claimants are eligible to recover the following forms of compensation:
- Medical expenses (for the costs associated with the injuries you suffered in the accident)
- Lost wages (for the income that was lost because of your injuries)
- Pain and suffering (for the mental and emotional distress caused by your accident and your injuries)
- Property damage (for the loss of personal property caused by the accident)
- Loss of consortium (for the loss of ability to have a normal, family relationship with the victim)
- Funeral and burial costs (for the costs associated with death services)
- Punitive damages (for punishment to the defendant)
Could you recover all the compensation that is listed above? Although you could recover all the compensation mentioned above, the specific type and amount of compensation available for your claim depends on the details of your accident. For instance, if the victim did not die, claimants would not be eligible to receive compensation for funeral and burial costs. Regardless of the details of your car accident claim, you can be certain that our lawyers will always fight for your right to receive the highest amount of compensation available for your claim. If you would like to learn more about the type and amount of compensation that you could receive for San Francisco car accident claims, you must speak with an experienced lawyer for clients who don’t speak English but speak Spanish as soon as possible.
