Car accidents can leave victims with injuries, property damage, and financial burdens. Understanding your legal rights and options is essential to ensure you receive fair compensation and justice for your losses. Victims have several avenues to pursue claims and protect their rights after an accident.
If you’ve been injured, you have the right to seek compensation for both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages include tangible losses such as medical expenses, lost wages, and property damage.
