Question 1

How Much Will An Attorney Charge To Help Me With A Rollover Car Accident?

Lawsuit Info Center · Accepted Answer

Almost all car accident attorneys represent their clients “on contingency,” which means they don’t charge any legal fees if they win. Typical contingency fees for rollover accident cases are in the range of 33% of the amount recovered, but some lawyers charge less and some charge more. Before taking your case, a lawyer should clearly explain the fees he or she will charge.

Question 2

How Long Do I Have to File a Car Accident Claim for a Rollover Accident?

Lawsuit Info Center · Accepted Answer

How long you have to file a claim after a rollover car accident depends on the statute of limitations in your state. In most states, the statute of limitations is at least two years. However, there are a few states that are 1 year, and it's usually a good idea not to wait to file your car accident claim. Evidence can disappear, and delays can lead to other challenges as well. As a result, it is in your best interests to speak with an auto accident attorney as soon as possible.

Question 3

Can a Car Accident Lawyer Help Me Recover Financial Compensation After a Rollover Accident?

Lawsuit Info Center · Accepted Answer

Whether a lawyer can help you recover financial compensation after a rollover car accident depends on what caused the accident. If another driver (including the driver of the vehicle you were in if you were a passenger in a car accident) was at fault, or if the accident was the result of vehicle malfunction or hazardous road conditions, there is likely a case to be made for compensation and you should probably speak to a lawyer. It costs nothing to find out if you have a car accident claim, and you should absolutely speak with an attorney about your legal rights. While some rollover accident victims won’t have claims, in many cases victims and their families will be entitled to significant car accident compensation.

Question 4

How Much Will an Attorney Charge for Handling a Low-Speed Accident Claim?

Lawsuit Info Center · Accepted Answer

Attorneys generally handle all types of car accident claims on a contingency-fee basis. This means that their fees are calculated as a percentage of your financial recovery (usually around 33 percent). But, many lawyers do not charge for assisting with PIP or MedPay; and, even taking contingency fees into account, an experienced lawyer may be able to help you recover significantly more than you could recover on your own.

Question 5

Can I File a PIP or MedPay Claim After a Low-Speed Car Accident?

Lawsuit Info Center · Accepted Answer

Yes, if you have PIP or MedPay coverage, you should be able to file a claim under your policy after a low-speed car accident. A good car accident lawyer can help make sure you receive full coverage (assuming your costs exceed your policy limit, which they most likely will), and your lawyer can determine if you have a claim outside of PIP or MedPay as well.

Question 6

Does Collision or Comprehensive Coverage Apply After a Low-Speed Car Accident?

Lawsuit Info Center · Accepted Answer

Collision coverage applies when a low-speed car accident involves two or more vehicles. Comprehensive coverage applies when you are involved in an accident involving something other than a vehicle (i.e. an animal or a stationary object). So if you hit a pole at a low speed, you would use comprehensive insurance coverage. If another car hit you at a low speed (or vice versa), the at fault driver's collision coverage will pay any compensation for the auto accident.

Question 7

What's the Average Car Accident Settlement Amount for a Low-Speed Car Accident?

Lawsuit Info Center · Accepted Answer

The average low-speed car accident settlement depends on a few factors:

(i)The extent of the damage to your vehicle.
(ii) The costs of your injuries.
(iii) The insurance coverage that is available.

In order to ensure that you are able to collect the maximum compensation available, you speak with an attorney familiar with the car accident laws in your state.

Question 8

Can I File a Claim Under the Other Driver’s Insurance Policy After a Low-Speed Car Accident?

Lawsuit Info Center · Accepted Answer

If the other driver was at fault in your accident, you can seek financial compensation under his or her insurance policy. You should still contact your own insurer, and then you will want to hire an attorney to help you through the insurance claims process. However, if you live in a “no fault” state, you will need to be able to prove that you suffered a significant or permanent injury in order to seek fault-based compensation in the form of a car accident settlement.

Question 9

I was hit by a Semi Truck on the Highway in Another State - What Should I Do?

Lawsuit Info Center · Accepted Answer

Getting a fair semi truck accident settlememt is a difficult task anywhere the accident occurs, but being out of town adds more complexity and challenges to the situation. Below we'll address

If You Were Injured While Driving on the Highway in Another State

If you were injured while driving on the interstate in another state, you will need to hire an attorney who practices in the state where the accident happened, and any rules around insurance coverage, statute of limitations etc will defer to the state where the accident occurred.

If The Truck Driver Lives (or the company is based out of) in a Different State

If the driver who hit you lives in another state, you should still hire a local attorney in the state where the accident occurred. Your attorney can deal with any issues that come up as a result of the driver being from out of state—including any issues pertaining to insurance coverage.

Question 10

Do I Need to Report an Auto Accident on the Highway?

Lawsuit Info Center · Accepted Answer

Typically, yes. Most insurance companies require their policyholders to report all auto accidents. This is especially important if you were injured and think you'll need to file a claim and negotiate a car acciddent settlement with the at fault driver's insurance. In commercial vehicle accidents where you'll be dealing with a company rather than an individual, this is even more crucial. Trucking companies and other businesses using vehicles for commercial purposes generally have larger insurance policies in place, but the process for filing a semi truck accident claim can be a lot more complex and can take longer, so it's important to get the ball rolling as quickly as possible. You may have a certain number of days, or your policy may simply require you to report your accident “promptly.” If you don’t report your accident on time, you could potentially lose your coverage. Additionally, in many states, the law requires drivers to report car accidents to the police and the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
