Remedies in Case of Auto Collision

Just early this year, 110 freeway has been the scene of a four car collision which resulted to its close for a while.

News like this have been the constant and hot items on television or in radio. Many of us have been a witnessed, in one way or the other, to collision scenes. Surely, such horrific scenes have left a traumatizing effect. More so, to its victims and offending drivers alike whose life must have changed forever.

Even the most careful driver may, once in his life, be involved in auto collisions. This is because we share the streets along with some other hostile or negligent drivers. However, victims of auto collisions are not left without remedy. The following are the legal options:

  1. Hire an auto collision attorney
  2. Sue the driver/owner of the offending vehicle for their tortuous conduct.
  3. Pose a claim with either with your insurance company or that of the offender.
  4. File a criminal case against the driver or offending party.

The above remedies may be done simultaneously. Of course, such remedies are only available if you have a valid claim. The validity of the claim would depend upon the accomplishment of all the necessary documentation and gathering of information. It is necessary to see a doctor for medical consultation and diagnosis. The statement of the doctor and the records of medical costs and expenses are all important documents to be utilized in the claim.

You should weigh your legal options. Plan ahead your legal move. Be sure that the statute of limitations has not yet prescribed.
