Legal Question
I was in an accident on Saturday night. Going southbound threw an intersection and a driver coming northbound took a left hand turn in front of me causing a pretty much head on collision. I was taken by ambulance to the er with left neck, shoulder, arm, and several bumps and bruises in between. No broken bones thank god but extreme stiffness in neck, shoulder, back, and my left arm is swollen from the elbow down to finger tips with abrasions. As this was not my fault, which the other just licensed driver admitted fault immediately I have a few questions. My car is totaled. I have recently been laid off of my job and now have no transportation and by no means the ability; money or credit wise of getting another car is this something that they must replace due to fault? If so, will it be something comp to my car.. it was a 2000 Honda accord in excellent condition but the blue book value is obviously not going to get me a vehicle of that quality. So would it be just the blue book value paid out or actually replacing of it with comparable one? Also, all my medical bills from the accident that night and follow up visits are paid by his insurance correct? I have never been in an accident before and am a little lost at what to do. I have filled my claim with my insurance and will speak with them tomorrow but will they be able to do everything I am going to need to or will I be needing to seek a lawyers counsel.. and if so is he going to have to pay those fees as he was at fault? Just a little lost right now and need some answers please. Thank you. Janet
