Do you have a claim if you have been injured in a single vehicle accident? Yes, you should always contact your insurance company after an accident. Most insurance policies have a coverage to pay for your medical bills. The coverage for medical bills varies from policy to policy.
You may also have a claim against the manufacturer of your vehicle or vehicle parts. Single vehicle accidents are not always the fault of the driver. What if you have a tire malfunction? There have been thousands of claims against tire manufactures for faulty tires.
What if the accident is your fault, but your seatbelt fails? A federal court jury returned a $19 million dollar verdict against Ford Motor Company for the failure of their seatbelts in a 1998 Ford Windstar. In this particular case it was determined that there was a design defect within the buckle of the restraint system. Luckily the Plaintiff’s in this case contacted an attorney to preserve evidence. pbk (205)912-8245
