Car accidents happen every day in America. You could be driving home from work and have a head-on collision with a drunk driver. At a red light a driver who is texting while driving can rear-end your car and injure you. Or, you could be sideswiped by a truck driver and require the legal services of a truck accident lawyer. A lot of these car crashes are caused by negligence and are avoidable.

After a car accident, you are likely to be in shock and you may have many questions. You will probably be asking who is going to pay for your medical bills and repair your car. Florida has a "no-fault" system. That means injuries and damage are compensated by your own insurer even if another driver caused the accident. However, if you sustain severe or permanent injuries you can sue the party at fault. To get compensation after your crash, you should talk to a Lakeland car accident lawyer.

A lot of car accident victims end up disfigured. During the accident, they can hit the dashboard or steering wheel hard. This often leaves them with a broken jaw, nose, or they can lose their teeth. The glass pieces from the windscreen or car windows may also cut a driver's face. These cuts may leave some scars. Sometimes when the airbag deploys, the chemicals in it can cause facial burns or bruises.

To correct broken jaws or remove scars, you may have to undergo cosmetic surgery, which is not cheap. That's why you need to get compensation to enable you to get proper treatment. Scars may also leave an accident victim with low self-esteem, making it difficult for them to socialize. For the emotional distress, you can also claim compensation from the party at fault. With the help of a Winters & Yonker attorney, you can document your injuries and file a personal injury lawsuit.
