Jonesboro car accidents commonly lead to high medical bills and health issues for the victims. The Jonesboro personal injury attorneys at NST Law work with car accident victims to help them gain compensation when a negligent driver causes injury.
When another driver crashes into you, they can be held financially responsible for the injury they cause. Gaining compensation is a particularly important concern when an accident leaves you with significant medical bills, drastically alters the state of your health or leaves you unable to return to work.
You need an experienced car accident attorney to protect your rights if you hope to gain the financial amount you deserve. A Jonesboro car accident attorney may work to build your case in many different ways. These include:
If you don’t have an attorney working to prove the other driver’s negligence and collecting evidence to support your claims, you risk losing the chance for compensation or walking away with a much lower amount than you’re eligible for.
Our team of experienced car accident lawyers has helped our clients recover millions of dollars in settlements and verdicts. Some of our recent cases include:
No matter what type of accident you are involved in, we will vigorously fight for your rights to receive the financial compensation you deserve.
The state of Arkansas has a three-year statute of limitations for taking legal action over an injury caused by a car accident. One mistake car accident victims often make is waiting to contact a lawyer.
A Jonesboro car accident lawyer has a substantial amount of work to do to build your case. Once they have the evidence to support your claims, they must undergo negotiations with the insurance companies. Taking legal action only happens if negotiation is ineffective, and it can take a while to get to that point.
It’s always safer to speak with an attorney immediately. A failure to do so can cause you to miss the window of time allowed by the statute of limitations.
Compensation for a Jonesboro car accident should adequately cover the losses caused by the accident. When an accident leads to serious injury, you can expect the compensation to be much higher than in a case involving minor injuries. You can pursue financial compensation for costs including:
Arkansas places no cap on the compensatory damages available in a personal injury case. As a result, the attorneys at NST Law often see car accident cases resolved with compensation values that reach six and seven figures.
Proving the other driver was at fault is a large part of why you need to work with a Jonesboro car accident lawyer. The legal requirement of proving liability for a car accident depends on four factors:
Your attorney will rely on accident reports, witness testimony and possibly the input of accident reconstruction. It’s important to protect yourself after a car accident by never admitting fault, apologizing or speaking to an insurance company without representation.
In Arkansas, the person liable for the accident is also responsible for the injuries and damages they caused, known as comparative fault. However, Arkansas is one of six states that also have “add on no-fault laws” that allow you to buy your own Personal Injury Protection insurance to cater for medical expenses, wage loss, death benefits, and other related expenses, no matter who is at fault for the accident.
Lastly, Arkansas State allows you to file a personal injury lawsuit against the offender or “at-fault” driver without restriction.
If you are partially at fault, you will not lose all the compensation you are entitled to. However, the amount will be reduced by your percentage of fault in the accident.
Nonetheless, if you purchased Personal Injury Protection, you may be able to receive compensation to cover medical costs, death benefits, and wage loss, regardless of whether or not you were at fault.
It’s crucial to begin working with an attorney as soon as possible after the accident.
It takes an attorney time to compile evidence, build a case and attempt insurance negotiations, all of which must take place before legal action is initiated.
An attorney will protect you from making incriminating statements to an insurance company. It also helps your case when a lawyer has access to police evidence and witnesses while the accident is still recent.
The Jonesboro car accident attorneys at NST Law work with clients on a contingency basis. This allows car accident victims to take immediate action, regardless of their current financial situation. A contingency payment comes directly out of the final compensation value awarded and is only owed if your lawyer wins your case.
Auto accidents can lead to severe injuries. It can be challenging recovering from your injuries while also pursuing a legal claim. While you might think of handling the proceedings yourself, hiring a car accident attorney can be more helpful than you think.
