How Does Comparative Fault Affect My Car Accident Claim in Honolulu, HI?
Comparative fault can affect your car accident claim in Honolulu by reducing the compensation you may receive if you share responsibility for the crash. The amount you can recover may depend on your percentage of fault and the losses you experienced.
When an insurance company reviews a claim, it may consider police reports, photographs, statements, vehicle damage, and other evidence. These records can help show how the collision occurred and whether more than one driver contributed to it.
Because fault can be disputed, keeping evidence from the crash may help support your claim. Photos of the vehicles and roadway, repair estimates, medical records, and other documents may provide useful information when an insurer decides how responsibility should be divided.
If an insurer believes you share responsibility, it may reduce its offer based on the percentage of fault it assigns to you. Reviewing the evidence behind that decision can help you determine whether the percentage accurately reflects what happened.
Compensation after a car accident may include medical expenses, lost income, property damage, and pain and suffering. If you need ongoing treatment, your claim may also include future medical costs related to the care you are expected to receive.
In Hawaii, you generally have two years to file a lawsuit for injuries caused by a car accident. Waiting too long may also make it harder to preserve records and other evidence that could support your claim.
During the claims process, a car accident lawyer in Honolulu can review the evidence used to assign fault and address disputes over responsibility. An attorney can also communicate with the insurance company and help present documentation supporting your losses.
