If you sustained major injuries in a traffic accident in Fresno County, and/or your vehicle was damaged, you may be entitled to compensation. You can pursue compensation by filing a personal injury lawsuit or an auto insurance claim. Obtaining a traffic accident report can help prove liability since it contains important accident details, including the police officer’s findings from their accident investigation, such as which party they believe was negligent and how and why the accident occurred. Other information, such as a description of your injuries and vehicle damage, can also strengthen your case. A personal injury lawyer will use the information in this document to build a strong case and negotiate a fair settlement that will cover the cost of your damages, including your past and future medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.
