Get in touch with a Wellington personal injury lawyer if you or a loved one is injured in an accident. There could be a number of reasons for accidents to happen. Motor-vehicle accidents are caused by driver impairment, poorly-maintained/unfamiliar roads, weather conditions, defective automobile parts/tires, etc. Slip and fall accidents are caused by poorly-maintained premises, lack of warning signs, misplaced or faulty equipment, falling debris, poorly-lit areas, failure to comply with building codes, etc. The common factor in motor-vehicle accidents, slip and fall accidents and indeed almost every kind of accident is that they are caused by another person’s negligence or fault. When this can be proved legally, the injured are entitled to compensation from those responsible for the accident. This is achieved by filing a personal injury claim against the at-fault party preferably with the advice and guidance of an experienced, reliable and reputable personal injury lawyer.
Many accident victims assume that the compensation settlement process is quite straightforward and simple. This would be true if the injuries are relatively minor and the liability of the at-fault party is in no doubt. However, in reality, the compensation settlement is to be paid out by the responsible party’s insurance companies and it would be in their interest to dispute the claim, deny the nature and extent of injuries and minimize their client’s liability. Hence, our Wellington car accident lawyer and Wellington slip and fall accident lawyer would advise clients to never accept a compensation settlement offered immediately and informally, sign waivers, provide written submissions or admissions, provide authorizations or make statements to the at-fault party without first consulting a Wellington injury lawyer.
The compensation amount awarded depends on the differences that were made to your life after the accident as compared to before the accident. Based on the circumstances of the case, our accident injury lawyers can advise victims to claim compensation for out of pocket expenses like medical bills, rehabilitation costs, travel, prescriptions, and also for pain and suffering, loss of income/wages including future income if the accident renders you unable to work, loss of enjoyment of life, etc.
