If you are injured in a car crash due to another driver’s negligence, you are entitled to compensation

If you are injured in a car crash due to another driver’s negligence, you are entitled to compensation for your injuries, damages, and losses and will have a bodily injury claim against that driver’s insurance company. The strength of the evidence supporting your claim is the most decisive factor in assuring that you receive proper compensation. The at-fault driver’s insurance company will look for ways to build a defense to your claim in an attempt to either deny or reduce the amount of compensation payable to you. Defending against personal injury claims is big business for insurance companies.
