MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENTS
If you were involved in a car, trucking or motorcycle accident, you may be entitled to compensatory damages including reimbursement for property damage, medical treatment, loss of income, emotional distress or pain and suffering. In extreme cases, punitive damages may also be pursued to punish the person at fault.
INSURANCE COVERAGE
Arkansas law requires owners of vehicles to carry a certain amount of insurance coverage to compensate for injuries incurred as a result of a motor vehicle accident, often referred to as liability coverage. In most cases, individuals decide to carry additional insurance on their own coverage in case the liability coverage by the at-fault driver is insufficient to cover the damages such as medical bills and pain and suffering. Uninsured coverage is additional insurance in those situations where the at-fault did not have any insurance in effect at the time of the accident. Underinsured is additional insurance that will pay for bills and pain and suffering above and beyond the at-fault driver’s liability coverage.
SUBROGATION
In the event that a person recovers monetarily from the at-fault party, an insurance company may seek reimbursement for payments it has made. This could pertain to uninsured or underinsured coverage or payments made from health insurance coverage. The right of an insurance company to seek reimbursement is called subrogation. In some instances, subrogation claims can be waived if the person is not fully compensated for his or her injuries. The personal injury attorneys at MCRMT can evaluate your unique circumstances and help you obtain a recovery to compensate you for your injuries.
STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS
After an accident, the law allows a certain amount of time to file a lawsuit, commonly called the statute of limitations. If a case is filed beyond the statute of limitations, your claim can be barred and you no longer have the ability to recover damages. It is crucial you understand the time constraints of your case and speaking with an attorney can help you understand these issues.
