Serious Car Accident Injuries Have Hidden Costs

Car accidents happen every day in Chicago, so much so that they can even start to feel mundane. Until you or a loved one gets injured. Despite taking mere moments, perhaps minutes, maybe seconds, the consequences of a serious car accident can take months or even years to be discovered, much less resolved.

The impacts of a car accident range from the obvious, like vehicle damage or external injuries, to the unexpected, like time lost from work to the invisible, like a loss in quality of life or emotional trauma. Even physical injuries can remain undetected or falsely diagnosed, and the impacts for some can be permanent.

Fortunately, the personal injury claim system exists to help you recover those costs and losses by claiming them from the at-fault driver or their insurance company. Unfortunately, without the help of an experienced lawyer like Michael Mannis, getting them to actually pay what you need is not always easy.

What Can An Attorney Help You Get After A Car Accident?

If you have just been hit or are only starting to realize the extent of your injuries after a car accident, you might not yet realize just how much it is going to cost you. Unfortunately, even mild injuries can have a substantial personal injury cost, and severe ones can be financially disastrous for you and your loved ones.

While it is technically possible to deal with insurance companies and file your claim entirely on your own, doing so represents a significant time commitment. Worse still, the risk of making a mistake, either by saying something the insurance company can use against you, accepting a downright awful deal, or forgetting to include vital categories of compensation, could end up costing you. A lot.

That is because, with the help of a skilled lawyer, personal injury claim compensation can be considerable and include all the losses and harms associated with an injury:

• All medical bills, including ambulance costs, surgeries, medicine and long-term care.
• All economic damages, such as lost income, including future income lost to disabilities.
• Any non-economic damages,

Because of these substantial costs, however, insurance companies will often do everything in their power to avoid paying them, which is often when car accident victims realize they need a good lawyer.
