There are few things worse than sustaining an injury in an auto accident. That said, if you were wrongfully injured in an auto accident as a passenger in your friend or relative’s car, you’re most likely concerned about how you’ll receive compensation. Please continue reading and reach out to our experienced Buffalo auto accident lawyer to learn more about these accidents and how we can help you through the claims process. Here are some of the questions you may have:
Do I have to sue my driver if I was injured as a passenger?
Who you will sue depends on who caused the accident. For example, if the accident was caused by another driver, you will sue him or her. However, if your driver caused the accident, you will sue his or her insurance company. This comes as a relief to many injured passengers, as they don’t want to sue their friend or relative for compensation, but they still need it to heal.
What should I do to prove my injury claim?
If you are hurt in an auto accident, you should do what you can to document the facts surrounding the incident. This can include taking pictures of the accident, calling the police to the scene, seeking medical attention, and asking anyone who witnessed the accident for their name, phone number, and email address. You should also hire an experienced Buffalo, New York personal injury attorney who can work to uncover all additional evidence needed to satisfy the burden of proof in your personal injury claim. Ramos & Ramos has years of experience handling injury claims on behalf of our clients, and we have what it takes to effectively handle yours as well.
How long can I wait to file a personal injury claim in New York?
The statute of limitations for most personal injury claims in New York is three years, which means that injured parties will have three years from the date of their accident to sue the person responsible. Waiting longer than three years will most likely result in them losing their right to sue. If you’ve been hurt, the smartest thing you can do is reach out to a seasoned personal injury law team as soon as you can. Ramos & Ramos is ready to help you today.
