There are several factors to analyze, including:

• Fault. For you to recover money, generally a person or business must have done something wrong or failed to do something. In most cases, you can still make a claim even if you are partly at fault for the accident.
• Damages. To receive money, you must suffer damage. This can cover many things, like medical bills or lost wages in addition to personal injuries.
• Can you collect? Before making a claim, you must be sure there is a source for recovering your damages, such as the other party or an insurance company.
• Is your claim timely? Waiting too long can cause you to lose an otherwise valid claim.

After an accident, protect yourself by seeking legal help to find out if your case is strong.
