How much is my car accident case worth?
The value of your car accident case depends on several factors, and Blank Kim Injury Law is here to help you understand what your case may be worth. First, the severity of your injuries plays a significant role. Severe injuries requiring long-term medical treatment, surgery, or rehabilitation will generally lead to a higher settlement or award. In contrast, minor injuries may result in a smaller amount of compensation.
Other key factors include the extent of property damage, lost wages, and pain and suffering. If you were unable to work due to your injuries, the amount of lost income will be factored into your claim. Additionally, if you experience significant pain, emotional distress, or long-term disability due to the accident, these non-economic damages will also influence the case value.
Liability and the insurance policies of the at-fault party are also critical. If the other driver is fully insured or there’s a clear determination of fault, your case value may increase. Conversely, if liability is disputed or if the at-fault party has insufficient coverage, it may impact your compensation.
What if the other driver doesn’t have insurance?
If you were injured in a car accident and the other driver doesn’t have insurance, you may still be able to recover compensation through your own insurance policy. At Blank Kim Injury Law, we help clients in Frederick, MD, navigate these complex situations. In Maryland, all auto insurance policies are required to include uninsured motorist (UM) coverage, which is designed specifically for accidents involving drivers who have no insurance or who flee the scene (hit-and-run).
Your UM coverage can help pay for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage. However, even though you’re filing a claim with your own insurance company, they may still try to limit the payout. That’s where our legal team steps in. We’ll work to ensure your insurance company treats your claim fairly and pays you what you’re entitled to.
If you don’t have UM coverage or if your damages exceed your policy limits, other legal options may still be available. We can help you explore whether the at-fault driver has personal assets or if other liable parties may be involved.
What should I do after a car accident?
After a car accident, your safety and well-being should be your top priorities. At Blank Kim Injury Law, we recommend taking several important steps to protect both your health and your legal rights. First, check for injuries and call 911 if anyone needs medical attention. Even if injuries seem minor, it’s important to get evaluated by a medical professional, as some conditions may not show immediate symptoms.
Next, report the accident to the police and request a copy of the accident report for your records. While waiting for law enforcement, exchange information with the other driver, including names, contact details, driver’s license numbers, license plate numbers, and insurance information. If it’s safe to do so, take photos of the scene, vehicle damage, and any visible injuries.
Avoid admitting fault or making statements that could be used against you later. Notify your insurance company about the accident as soon as possible, but be cautious about giving detailed statements until you speak with an attorney.
