Recent statistics show that more than 3 million people a year get injured in automobile accidents. But after an accident, the question as to who was at fault is only the first of many. What coverage does the other driver have? What is limited tort and full tort, and why does it matter? What if the vehicle that hit me was a commercial vehicle or tractor-trailer? Who will pay for the damage to my vehicle? Can I get my deductible back? What if I need a rental car? What if the person who hit me has no insurance or only a small amount? What about my lost wages?

And most importantly, what if I am hurt? The law provides for fair and reasonable compensation to be paid for the pain and suffering of being in an automobile accident, but what does that mean? Do I have to take what the insurance company says is fair? Who will pay my medical bills? What if my injuries are permanent? What if I can’t go back to my job?
