How much compensation am I entitled to after an auto accident?

The amount of compensation will depend on the specific details of your auto accident. Your potential for compensation will depend on:

• The extent of your injuries
• The extent of your property damage
• Medical expenses incurred
• Rehabilitation costs incurred
• Lost wages

The auto accident lawyers at Jan Dils & Jim Leach, Attorneys at Law have handled many car accident claims. We have the experience needed to properly calculate your damages so that you receive the compensation you deserve.

What if the negligent driver does not have insurance?

Even if the other driver does not have the proper insurance, you may still be covered by your insurance policy if you have purchased uninsured motorist coverage. In addition, you can still receive the compensation you deserve through your auto accident claim. At your initial consultation, our car accident lawyers will review all of your options with you.

What should I do if I am injured in an auto accident?

You should notify the police immediately so that they can fill out an accident report. This is especially important if the other driver is at fault. The police report will strongly help your case if it identifies the other driver as being negligent. You should also seek medical attention right away. Often, symptoms of your injuries may take hours or days to appear. Therefore, it is important to get checked out by a doctor to ensure that you have not suffered a serious injury. Once you have received medical treatment, consult an experienced auto accident lawyer before providing a statement to the insurance company.
