Unemployment After a Car Accident

One other avenue for compensation is filing a lawsuit for a personal injury claim. A dedicated and qualified lawyer may help you determine whether or not you can open a personal injury claim. If you can show that another person owed you a duty of care and then in failing to provide this left you suffering the consequences of an accident, such as injuries, you can use this information to get benefits other than unemployment after car accidents. You need to be able to show that the driver breached their duty of care to you. In some personal injury cases, this is easier to do than in others. 

For example, if police used a breathalyzer with the other person driving the other vehicle at the time of the accident, they would be able to tell you whether or not that person was under the influence of alcohol. 

It may be much easier to argue that the other driver failed to meet the duty of care owed to you when going through a case like this, but it can be more challenging to do so if you allege drowsy driving, distracted driving, or aggressive driving. Hiring the right personal injury lawyers, however, puts you on a path to recover compensation more effectively. Our experience and dedicated lawyers at Morgan & Morgan deeply care about your future and are prepared to do everything possible to help you with your personal injury claim. 

Although it can be very challenging to find yourself dealing with these circumstances, knowing that you are not alone is extremely valuable. We care about your ability to get necessary compensation and recognize that there are many different avenues available to you when you've been hurt because of a preventable accident. We work as hard as possible to gather this evidence and to even bring in expert witnesses, if necessary. 

You may need to file a claim directly with your own insurance company depending on whether or not you live in a state that requires personal injury protection. However, there are many other potential avenues for you to receive compensation, including filing a civil personal injury lawsuit. 

A civil personal injury lawsuit is a case that argues that another party owed you that duty of care and that in breaching it, should be held legally responsible for your injuries. You can find a variety of different types of damage payments available to you in a personal injury lawsuit, including lost wages, medical expenses for the past and future, and more. The specifics of your case should always be discussed directly with a qualified personal injury attorney. Our lawyers know how hard it can be to navigate the legal process on your own and are here to help support you in each phase of your case.

After you have been hurt in a serious accident, there is an immediate question of whether or not you can go back to work. It is common for many people who have been seriously injured in an accident, such as a slip and fall or a car accident, to need several days or even weeks to recover. However, you may realize that you've sustained a serious disability or permanent injury, which means you may never be able to fully return to work. 

This generates additional questions beyond just getting unemployment benefits after a car accident. This also means that you may need long-term support for your financial expenses because you were involved in an accident that may have been caused by someone else's actions. You need to consult with a dedicated personal injury lawyer to think beyond just unemployment after a car accident and well into the future with your medical and other expenses. 

Plenty of people wind up seriously injured from an accident and may never recover in full. Your doctor may say that you are at a point known as maximum medical improvement (MMI), but this does not always mean you are fully recovered. Coping with the remaining injuries may be an ongoing problem for you for years, and it's vital that you have a lawyer to help you with this. You need care for years, and therefore you need funds to help pay for that care for years. 

If you have sustained a permanent disability or medical condition such as scarring from an accident, you need to make sure you have a personal injury attorney who is willing to do everything possible to fight on your behalf and win you the compensation you need and deserve to move forward with your life. 

It is not always easy to move forward with these cases, but the right lawyers can make a big difference in helping you chart out the course for your future.
