Sunland Park Car Accident Lawyer

Being in a car accident can be a jarring experience in more ways than one. One moment you are going about your day, and the next you are hit by a negligent driver. Perhaps the driver was exceeding the speed limit, intoxicated, distracted, overly fatigued, or simply driving carelessly or recklessly. Suddenly your day has gone from thinking about errands that need to be run or commuting to or from work to a trip to the ER, with injuries that may prevent you from earning a living, and looming financial devastation. If this has happened to you, contact an experienced Sunland Park car accident lawyer from Harmonson Law Firm.

You may feel anxious, stressed out, and overwhelmed. All these feelings are normal, but if you must also convince a sneaky insurance company to pay you a fair settlement it can seem like too much to handle. The insurer may offer you a quick, very low settlement that won’t even begin to cover your damages. Yet if you are struggling to pay medical expenses with injuries that have prevented you from returning to work, you could be tempted to accept the offer and move on. It is imperative that you speak to a Sunland Park car accident lawyer from Harmonson Law Firm before you make a decision that could impact you for years to come.

Explanation of Potential Damages

Your accident may have left you with injuries that could be severe, even catastrophic. You are entitled to medical expenses, both current and future. Medical expenses may include the cost of the ambulance, ER expenses, surgical costs, physician expenses, prescription medication costs, and the costs for rehabilitative therapies as well as any assistive devices necessary in the future. In addition to medical expenses, you are entitled to lost wages. Lost wages include current lost wages, as well as any future lost wages you might incur if your injuries are severe. Some people are never able to return to work following their car accident because their injuries cause lifelong issues. Pain and suffering damages are also available when your injuries have caused physical pain or emotional pain and trauma. In many cases, emotional trauma can prevent you from ever returning to the life you enjoyed prior to the accident.
