Have you experienced a shoulder injury resulting from a car accident? If so, you’re likely dealing with physical pain, the stress of medical bills, insurance claims, and potential time off work. In California, laws are in place to protect individuals like you. Below are the steps to take and how Deldar Legal can support your recovery.
Recognizing the Severity of Shoulder Injuries
Shoulder injuries from car accidents can range from bruises and strains to more severe conditions like fractures, dislocations, or rotator cuff tears. These injuries can lead to significant discomfort, reduced mobility, and a lengthy recovery period. Immediate medical attention is essential to diagnose the extent of the injury and begin appropriate treatment.
California State Law & Your Rights
If you’ve been injured in a car accident due to someone else’s negligence, you’re entitled to seek compensation. This compesation extends beyond your injuries and includes pain, suffering, and financial losses. This includes medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. However, California follows a comparative fault rule, meaning your compensation might be reduced if you’re found partially at fault.
Steps to Take After a Shoulder Injury in a Car Accident
- Seek Immediate Medical Attention: Prioritize your health and get a thorough examination to understand the extent of your shoulder injury.
- Document Everything: Keep a detailed record of the accident, your injuries, and any medical treatment. This documentation will be crucial when filing a claim.
- Report the Accident: Notify the police and your insurance company about the accident but avoid making any definitive statements or accepting blame before speaking with a lawyer.
- Contact a Personal Injury Lawyer: Consulting with a legal professional can significantly impact the outcome of your claim.
