How Can a Car Accident Injury Settlement Help You?

Surviving a car wreck not only affects the body, it can also have a negative impact on the mind. Car and truck accidents can cause psychological injuries such as anxiety, depression, phobias, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). When all of the damages are considered, car accident injuries aren’t just painful, they’re costly.

Here is what a car accident injury settlement could help cover:

  • Medical bills for treatment, and any ongoing charges for therapy sessions
  • Lost wages, missed days of work, and loss of advancement opportunities
  • Property damage costs and the often long-term expenses that can accumulate after a car accident (like appointments missed because your vehicle is no longer reliable)
  • Pain and suffering, real consequences that an experienced vehicle accident injury attorney can translate into economic numbers for the court
  • Punitive damages charged to negligent parties as punishment, funds which may then be awarded to you
  • Wrongful death expenses that must be handled by surviving loved ones after a fatal car accident

After a car accident, many people feel overwhelmed with unfair responsibility. In many instances, regardless of fault, you are still left to seek care, pay for it, schedule repairs, pay for those too, and rearrange your life to find alternate transportation. You also have to deal with insurance paperwork, all while healing from injury and trauma, and possibly caring for someone else who was injured in the crash, like a child.

A car accident injury lawyer can help shoulder many of these burdens. Contact Pierce Skrabanek today for help communicating or negotiating with insurance companies, gathering evidence from the crash, and accessing financial resources for medical and property bills. Let us handle the paperwork while you heal in peace.

After a car accident injury, call Pierce Skrabanek at 832-690-7000 — we’ll handle the paperwork while you focus on healing.

Even the most minor car accident comes with costs to your time, finances, and physical and mental well-being. The more serious the injuries, the more those costs compound, leaving victims of accidents feeling overwhelmed and underwater when they should be resting and recovering.

Before you accept what an insurance company thinks your injury is worth, contact Pierce Skrabanek today at 832-690-7000, or fill out our online contact form to schedule an appointment. Often those initial offers do not take into account your lost wages, or the total cost of recovery should your injury be life-altering or require long-term medical care.

Pierce Skrabanek has the resources to gather all the necessary evidence to present a strong case, and negotiate with all parties involved so that your true needs are addressed. Empower our experienced car accident attorneys to advocate on your behalf.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the most common types of car accident injury?

Some of the most frequent injuries resulting from car accidents include: head injuries like concussion or other forms of TBI; limb damage to joints and bones; as well as back, neck, and spinal cord injuries from slipped discs to paralysis. Soft tissue and organ injuries including tears and ruptures may also occur. Velocity damage from high speeds and sudden stopping can cause whiplash and other debilitating conditions.

What can a car accident lawsuit do to help me?

A settlement or verdict in a car accident lawsuit can help cover economic damages like medical bills, lost wages, and property damage costs. Non-economic damages include things like pain and suffering from PTSD or emotional loss of a loved one in wrongful death cases. Punitive damages, aka “punishment damages,” may also be available if your attorney can prove the other party acted especially recklessly or intentionally to harm you.

What experience does Pierce Skrabanek have with winning auto accident injury cases?

Examples of our successful verdicts and settlements in car accident and spinal cord injury cases include a $117 million recovery. This was for a catastrophic injury to a young mother who was injured when an ambulance transporting her was involved in a serious car accident. It is the largest single personal injury verdict in Louisiana history, with Mike Pierce as one of the lead attorneys.
