Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs

Will the Other Driver's Insurance Cover My Injuries?

Auto insurance is intended to help injured victims recover their losses related to medical expenses, lost wages, and other considerations after a car accident. Unfortunately, auto insurance policies are often not enough. In addition, it is not uncommon for an accident victim to discover that the other driver did not have insurance. Speak with a knowledgeable car accident lawyer at Ivey, Barnum & O'Mara, LLC about your legal options.

FAQs

I Was Partially at Fault for the Car Accident. Can I Still Collect Compensation?

If you share some responsibility for the accident, you may still be able to seek compensation through a personal injury lawsuit. Both Connecticut and New York operate under a modified version of the comparative negligence doctrine. This means that as long as the other party was more at fault than you were, you can still pursue damages. However, the amount you are able to collect will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

FAQs

How Much Is My Car Accident Case Worth?

The amount of compensation available after a car accident depends on many factors. In general, you may be entitled to collect damages for your measurable losses, such as medical bills, lost wages, and property damage. You could also be eligible for non-economic damages such as emotional distress, pain and suffering, and diminished quality of life. An experienced car accident lawyer can help you determine how much you might be able to collect.

FAQs

Why Do I Need a Lawyer?

When you have been injured in a car accident, you will have many things to worry about, such as making a full recovery, having your car repaired, and getting back to work.
