Newton Car Accident Lawyer

Don’t let a car crash that left you injured also leave you bankrupt. Get compensated for your losses by working with a Newton car accident lawyer.

Car accidents are one of the most common causes of personal injuries. In fact, the Department of Transportation estimates that there are more than two million people injured in car accidents every year. And when you’ve been in a car accident, you understand how scary it can be.

What’s more scary than the accident itself is the aftermath. You’re left with a damaged vehicle—if it wasn’t completely totaled—at a time when the medical bills are piling up. If the accident wasn’t your fault, you should hire an experienced Newton car accident lawyer from Joel H. Schwartz, PC to handle your case.

You may think you don’t need a lawyer because the insurance company will handle your claim. The bad news about insurance companies is that they want to settle quickly and for as little money as possible, leaving you undercompensated—even your own insurer. We will handle negotiations with the insurance company, but first we’ll need to determine the cause of the accident and who was at fault.

Who Caused the Auto Wreck?

Whether it was a distracted driver, someone driving under the influence of alcohol, road hazards, or something else, every car crash has a cause. Your Newton car accident lawyer wants to figure that out so that you know everyone who owes you compensation.

If you are at fault for the accident, you should know that Massachusetts is a no-fault state, so it’s still possible for you to get compensation from your own insurer. However, if you’re not at fault and your situation meets the required thresholds, you might be able to seek additional compensation through a personal injury claim.

Many types of accidents may reveal that multiple parties are at fault, which may include any of the following entities:

Another driver
Manufacturers of faulty parts or tires
Manufacturers of the vehicles involved
Construction workers and companies
Government agencies involved in road maintenance

Your attorney will take all of the necessary steps to determine fault. The parties responsible will affect the outcome of your case and be factored in when you get to compensation.

Compensation for a Traffic Accident

How much money you are eligible to receive is dependent on a variety of things. The good news is that you can expect some typical damages to be covered:

Medical bills, both present and future
Rehabilitation or physical therapy, as deemed medically necessary
Lost wages, income, or earning potential
General pain and suffering
Repair or replacement of property

Many other expenses and losses may be included, and if there is something specific you want covered, it’s important that you talk to a Newton car accident lawyer. That’s the best way to get an accurate estimate of the compensation you may receive.
