Personal Injury

The purpose of this publication is to answer questions that many people have about personal injury claims and no-fault insurance benefits. We wrote this to help people be better informed about their rights when they have been injured. We have found that many people do not know as much as they would like to know about their basic rights when they have been hurt. We hope this helps by providing answers to common questions that arise following an accident.

This first part of the material deals with Personal Injury cases. The second section covers "No-Fault" insurance, a type of coverage that is unique to all car and some motorcycle insurance policies.* "No-fault" insurance benefits are frequently also called Personal Injury Protection benefits. These are benefits available to you because you own an insured automobile. If you use either term, PIP or no-fault, your insurance agent, claims adjuster and lawyer will know what you are talking about.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS ABOUT PERSONAL INJURY CASES

Question: Can you give me an example of how that works?

Injuries from accidents occur in many different settings. Sometimes the injuries arise from an automobile or motorcycle accident, other times they may occur as the result of a dangerous condition on another person's property or perhaps from the use of a product which malfunctions or is improperly designed. In the worst of circumstances, injuries can result in the wrongful death of a person leaving behind surviving family members to deal with the emotional and financial losses caused by the wrongful death. If you would like to schedule a initial consultation contact an Kansas car / boat / semi accident attorney, representing clients in Olathe at McCullough, Wareheim & LaBunker, P.A. Give us a call at (785) 233-2362 or complete our inquiry form.

Answer

Certainly, let's say a jury determines you were 20% at fault in an automobile accident and the other driver was 80% at fault. You cannot recover damages from yourself. Since you were 20% at fault, you are only allowed to recover up to 80% of your provable damages.
