If you are in a serious car accident, face injuries and bone fractures are common. If the negligence of another driver caused you to fracture or damage bones in your face, you could be entitled to compensation. Talk to a car accident lawyer Portland, Oregon for more information.
Facial Bones That Fracture in Car Accidents
There are four major bones in the face that can be broken in car accidents:
One of the problems with getting a fair settlement for these types of injuries is limited insurance may be in force. A person with facial injuries from a car crash has a better chance of getting a fair settlement if there is considerable bodily injury liability insurance available.
There are a few cases where there may be enough BIL insurance to pay a fair value for the case. One is where the victim was struck by a Lyft or Uber driver who was engaged in a ride. In most states, Uber and Lyft have $1 million of BIL insurance IF the driver had a passenger at the time of the accident.
Another situation where there could be enough insurance is if a big rig caused the crash. Tractor-trailer settlements are usually bigger because there is a lot more insurance in effect.
Symptoms That Increase the Case Value of a Facial Injury Case
If you have any of the following injuries or symptoms, the value of your facial injury case could rise:
Keep in mind that you should always go to the doctor after a car accident if you suspect you have a facial injury. Some accident victims prefer to treat at home. But when you go to the insurance company for a settlement, they will offer you very little money.
A thorough medical evaluation and treatment will always increase the value of your facial injury case.
How to Get More Money for Your Facial Injury
The most important thing to do is to get prompt medical treatment and have your injuries documented by a doctor after the accident.
Second, take many pictures of your facial injury with a high-quality camera. Most cell phones today have good cameras. Take a lot of close-ups. Pictures do much to show pain and suffering, loss of the enjoyment of life, and mental anguish. People who have facial damage and scarring are subjected to embarrassment and ridicule, and this will be taken into consideration in a settlement.
