Injuries that involve permanent impairment aren’t handled like typical “minor accident” cases. In West Park, claims often turn on details that show up in the first days:
- Roadway complexity: Intersections, turning lanes, and merging traffic can create multiple liability theories (driver fault, roadway negligence, or third-party responsibility).
- Pedestrian and cyclist exposure: Serious injuries may involve crosswalk disputes, driver yield issues, or unclear right-of-way.
- Construction and detours: Temporary signage, lane shifts, and night work can affect visibility and safety.
- Insurance pressure: Adjusters may request statements quickly—before medical professionals can confirm long-term limitations.
Because catastrophic outcomes can require treatment for years, your early decisions can affect how well your claim holds up later.
