Understanding Your Rights After a Serious Injury
A serious injury can have far-reaching consequences, impacting your physical and emotional well-being, your finances, and your ability to work. Here's what you need to know about your rights:

• Statutory Accident Benefits: Regardless of who is at fault for the accident, you are entitled to benefits through your own auto insurance policy or the policy of a family member. These benefits can cover medical expenses, rehabilitation, lost wages, and attendant care.
• Potential for a Lawsuit: If another party's negligence caused your injuries, you may have the right to pursue a personal injury lawsuit to seek compensation for your pain and suffering, lost income, future care costs, and other damages.
• Legal Representation: You have the right to consult with and hire a personal injury lawyer to protect your rights and guide you through the legal process.
