How to Handle the Aftermath of a Car Accident in West Virginia
You can trust the support of Bailey Legal Services attorneys to help you in West Virginia. You may be entitled to damages contingent on several factors:
Fault
You must prove that the other party is responsible for causing the car accident. The at-fault driver must have acted with negligence or recklessness.
Injury in the car accident
If you sustain injuries due to someone else’s negligence, you may be compensated for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain, and suffering.
Monetary damages
You may receive compensation for vehicle damages or losses to other property, in addition to medical expenses.
Death
If a loved one’s death resulted from driver negligence, you are entitled to compensation for medical expenses, pain, and suffering, even if you were not involved in the accident yourself.
Negligence May be Difficult to Prove
Having an experienced attorney by your side can be a valuable asset in successfully determining that the other party acted negligently while driving. Consider—
Speed and safety
operating a vehicle with an excessive speed or in an unsafe manner (zooming through a school or work zone, for example) would indicate the driver’s lack of responsibility.
Cause
proving your injuries were caused by the other driver’s error and lack of caution.
Damages
To receive compensation for vehicle damage and lost wages, you will need to document the severity and costs associated with the accident.
