Through no fault of their own, people are injured every day in automobile accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, airplane accidents, at work, or while out in public.
They are entitled to fair compensation for their injuries when those injuries are caused by the negligence of another.
Securing that fair compensation requires strong and aggressive representation.
The personal injury lawyers at Schulte Booth can help you through the process.
Automobile / Truck / Motorcycle Accidents
When you are involved in a motor vehicle accident, there are many more things to consider than meets the eye, such as:
- Property damage to your vehicle
- Injuries to you and your passengers
- Your insurance coverage
- The other driver's insurance coverage
Normally, the property damage is covered by each driver's insurance policy, unless there is no insurance at all.
You may need a rental car while yours is in the shop being repaired.
If your vehicle is declared a total loss, meaning the cost to repair is greater than the market value of the vehicle, you are entitled to be paid the market value of your vehicle at the time of the accident.
Your insurance policy should contain a provision for Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits. PIP benefits pay, in part, your initial medical bills from the Emergency Room, your primary care provider, and follow up treatment as needed.
PIP coverage may also pay for lost wages when you cannot work as a result of your injury.
The Maryland personal injury lawyers at Schulte Booth, P.C. can assist you with all of the necessary paperwork so that your PIP benefits serve their intended purpose.
If and when your PIP benefits become exhausted, your regular insurance coverage should then begin paying for your medical bills.
PIP coverage and your own insurance will not, however, compensate you for the pain, suffering, additional lost time, inconvenience, and the other intangible effects on your life that a serious injury may cause.
Severe injuries such as broken bones, burns, herniated discs and other neck and back injuries, as well as other injuries that require medical care can take enormous tolls on your daily life activities.
While our civil justice system cannot eliminate the effects of the an injury caused by another's negligence, it can compensate you for the innumerable inconveniences it may have caused.
Schulte Booth, P.C. is experienced in negotiating with insurance company representatives and pursuing your claims though the court system to ensure that proper compensation is paid to you for your injuries.
Accidents and their after-effects are unpredictable. Your legal representation should not be.
