If you are injured in a car accident that involved a Regal, Enclave, Lucerne or any other type of Buick, it is important that you immediately contact an experienced New York car accident lawyer to ensure that your legal rights are protected. Regardless of the types of cars involved victims of car accidents often suffering severe injuries such as traumatic brain injuries or a life-changing spinal injury that affects mobility. Because of the severity of injuries the financial impact on the victim can be devastating. There are, however, steps that you can take to receive compensation from the person who caused your injuries. New York law gives victims of Buick car accidents as well as victims of other types of personal injury the right to seek compensation for their losses. Whether it was a rear-end, head-on collision or another type of collision if you were seriously injured in a car accident it is critical that you immediately contact an experienced attorney at the Law Offices of Stephen Bilkis & Associates who will work closely with you to ensure that you receive compensation for your losses.
Things to remember to do after a car accidentIf the negligence or recklessness of another person caused the Buick car accident that resulted in your injuries, you can pursue a claim against that person for damages. To prevail you must first show that the driver had a duty to you to drive with care. Because New York drivers are expected to drive at a reasonable, prudent speed, to keep the vehicle under control, and to obey all traffic laws in order to not cause harm to others, then all drivers have a duty to other drivers. Furthermore, you must show that the driver's negligence caused your injuries and that you suffered damages. For example, if you sue to recover damages based on a back injury and a head injury, you must show that you sustained the back injury and the head injury in the car accident and that you did not hurt your back and head in a fall two days prior to the accident. Your medical records will provide key evidence as to the injuries that you sustained in the car accident.
The at-fault driver may have to pay for your medical bills such as those related to your emergency room visit, hospital stay, special treatment such as surgery, rehabilitation, visits to your doctors including specialists, medication- both prescription and over-the-counter, assistive equipment, physical therapy, psychological counseling and future related medical expenses. In addition, the careless driver may be legally responsible for other economic losses you sustained such as lost wages from missing work as well as loss of future earning capacity. A court may also award you non-economic damages such as pain and suffering, loss of companionship or punitive damages.
