Steps Of A Bridgeport Car Accident Settlement Process

In a car accident insurance claim, there are many steps involved. The very first part begins with investigating the scene of the accident to uncover all evidence that could strengthen your claims. This includes interviewing witnesses, obtaining security videos, and visiting the scene of the accident. The next step is determining how much the total cost of all medical bills, property damage, pain and suffering, and other damages will be. After that, we can develop a demand package to present to the insurance company.

If this process is not followed, an insurance company will undoubtedly make you a lowball settlement offer to protect its financial interests, not your own. Do not accept any offer from an insurance company without consulting a skilled lawyer.

After a demand package is presented, negotiations will take place to get you the compensation you deserve. If the insurance company is unwilling to be reasonable, we are fully prepared to take them to court to present your car accident claims in front of a jury.

Some examples of our settlements include:

• $9,000,000 recovery for a rear-end collision causing seat back failure resulting in partial paralysis of the driver
• $2,500,000 treble (triple) damages for injuries caused by an intoxicated driver
• $1,500,000 recovery for a head-on collision caused by a 17-year-old driver losing control on black ice, causing the wrongful death of a 14-year-old passenger

How To Calculate The Damages In A Bridgeport Auto Insurance Settlement

Calculating a personal injury claim can be quite difficult and varies for each individual case. The basics consist of adding up all expenses, including property damage and repairs as well as medical bills. Your expenses will also include any lost wages you suffered from missing work due to your injury and a loss of earning capacity in the future.

On top of these, you are entitled to recover for non-economic damages such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, scarring, and any disability you suffer from your injuries. If a loved one dies, we will institute a wrongful death claim to compensate the Estate for this loss.

At our firm, we provide a free consultation to review the factors that affect the value and strength of your claims.
