I was on car accident that was not my fault and need advice on damages.
Question Details:I was involved in accident one week ago tomorrow. The other party was at fault. I only have liability and her insurance has yet to authorize a rental car. I have missed days at work and have been told if I'm not back they will consider this as if I quit my job; I have missed 3 days already. I am also experiencing back and neck pains that weren't there before accident. Her insurance is telling me it could be another week to 10 days. I need to see doctor and get some form of transportation until my vehicle is repaired. What can I do if anything?
Sounds like you have a good case and sounds like the other driver was at fault. If you are interested in having an attorney represent you;we are sure that we can get the other drivers insurance to pay for your to damages. visit us online at www.autoaccidentinjuryhotine.com or we can be reached at 8327854044
If you rent a car while waiting for the other driver's insurance carrier to provide a car rental, the expense you incur could be included in your claim. In order to mitigate damages, you should NOT rent an expensive luxury car. Find a reasonable low-cost rental car. Your wage loss is also recoverable as part of your claim.
As for your back and neck pain, you should see a doctor as soon as possible. When you complete your medical treatment, the medical reports will document the nature and extent of your injuries and will be determinative of the amount to request as compensation for pain and suffering beyond the actual medical bills. The medical bills, wage loss, etc. are all part of your personal injury claim.
The rental car expense and repairs to your vehicle represent your property damage claim. The property damage and personal injury claims are separate claims in your case against the other driver's insurance carrier.
