Car accidents are not an event you would wish on anybody, but they do happen and it’s not always on a busy interstate. Accidents at drive through restaurants typically take place because these places are chosen for meals because the drivers are in a hurry.
Some drivers rush into the restaurant drive through without paying reasonable care and attention to other car drivers. When a driver drives negligently in these busy places, accidents do happen and drivers and their passengers often have to deal with life threatening injuries. If this has happened to you and the accident was not your fault, you shouldn’t hesitate to file a personal injury compensation claim with the help of a personal injury attorney.
Personal Injury Claims after a Restaurant Drive Through Auto Accident
The most likely accident to take place in a restaurant drive through is a head on collision when a negligent driver fails to look at the sign and drives quickly down the wrong lane in the drive through. This takes other drivers by surprise, and they are unable to avoid the accident. If you are in this situation, in order to file a personal injury claim you will have to provide the evidence to show that the driver was driving in a negligent manner which caused the accident. There are certain useful bits of evidence that will be needed, such as reports from witnesses to the accident, photos showing the devastation the accident caused, details of the wages lost while recovering from the accident, and a medical report from the treating doctor.
You will need to know the time limit given for the filing of a personal injury claim and if there are any other state specific laws that could hold up your claim. Typically the time limit from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim is between 1 and 3 years.
Why You Should Use a Personal Injury Attorney
Filing a personal injury compensation claim is rarely straightforward. In order to ensure your claim goes through smoothly, you should contact a person injury attorney first who can check to see if your evidence is sufficient to win a claim due to driver negligence. Your attorney will have years of experience dealing with claims like yours and will argue on your behalf to get the best settlement.
