Legal Analysis: Victims of this traffic collision may have personal injury rights that allow them to seek compensation for their injuries. They could potentially file claims against the at-fault driver’s insurance policy to cover medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Additionally, if the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured, victims might pursue compensation through their own insurance policies under uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. Consulting with a personal injury attorney can help victims understand their rights and navigate the legal process.
