Car Accidents

What You May Be Entitled to After a Car Accident

If someone else caused your crash, you have the right to pursue compensation for the harm they caused. A successful claim can include:

• Medical bills (hospital visits, surgery, physical therapy)
• Future medical care or rehabilitation
• Lost income from time missed at work
• Loss of earning capacity if you can’t return to your job
• Pain and suffering
• Property damage to your vehicle

In fatal accidents, families may also be entitled to wrongful death damages, including funeral costs and compensation for the loss of a loved one’s income and companionship.

When you work with us:

• You speak directly with Edwin Palacio, not an assistant or junior lawyer.
• We investigate the accident, gather evidence, and build a strong case.
• We negotiate with insurance companies and fight for a fair settlement.
