Can I sue the drunk driver that caused me neck and back pain?

Answered by attorney Curtis Lee Chronister (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Chronister Law Firm, LLC
It is very likely that you can no longer sue the at fault driver. In nearly every case, an insurance company will not issue a settlement check without having you also sign a release from liability affidavit. In other words, you probably signed something that prevents you from suing the at fault driver in the future. One aspect of your case that you and some attorneys tend to miss, is that this is not your garden variety auto accident. Accidents involving drugs and alcohol tend to provide larger settlements and jury verdicts since the actions of the at fault party are deemed egregious. Personal injury attorneys will review a case at no charge, so it would be prudent to always seek the advice of an experience personal injury attorney as soon as possible after any accident.

In an auto accident what can I do if anything for compensation?

Eric R. Chandler
Answered by attorney Eric R. Chandler
Personal Injury lawyer at Chandler Conway, P.C., L.L.O.
There are many options available, but it really depends on the specific facts of your situation. The $2,000 from your own insurance carrier is likely what is referred to as medical payment coverage. You have a valid claim against the person who injured you for all of the damages you suffered. In addition, if there is no insurance coverage, or not enough coverage, available in regard to the person who caused the accident, you have additional coverage with your own insurance for uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage. Whether it makes sense to hire an injury lawyer depends; however, it definitely makes sense to at least have a consultation. If you are in the Omaha area, give us a call and we can set something up.

Who is at fault in my car accident?

David W. Craig
Answered by attorney David W. Craig
Personal Injury lawyer at Craig, Kelley and Faultless LLC
Indiana is a comparative fault state. What this means is that you must compare the fault of everyone involved and assign a percentage to that person. The total has to be 100%. As long as you are not more than 50% fault then you are allowed to recover damages. Your damages then are multiplied by the percentage of fault of the person you are making a claim against. In the situation you discussed it is likely that some percentage of fault will be attributed to your girlfriend as well as the other driver. Clearly you did nothing wrong so you would be able to collect 100% of your damages. However you would have to collect from both your girlfriends insurance company as well as the insurance company for the other driver. How much fault will be assigned to the other driver is hard to tell from the facts that you listed. It appears that that person was traveling to fast for a parking lot. But the case would depend on whether there are witnesses that are independent.
