Irresponsible Drivers Are Liable Drivers
The responsibility that comes with driving a motor vehicle is great. Drivers who do not take the dangers of driving a motor vehicle seriously can put others at risk of injury and death. In your case, an irresponsible driver may be to blame for causing your back pain.
A motorist can put you at risk of harm in many ways. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), some dangerous driving behaviors include:
- Drowsy driving
- Speeding
- Driving while intoxicated on alcohol or drugs
- Distracted driving
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) expands on how dangerous distracted driving can be. It notes that distracted driving:
- Affects your driving in three primary ways: taking your eyes off the road, mind off driving, and, in some cases, hands off the steering wheel
- Includes engaging in risky behaviors while driving, such as texting, eating, drinking, and adjusting a navigation device or radio
- Accounts for approximately nine traffic deaths and more than 1,000 traffic injuries every day in the United States
The other driver may be the liable party for your accident and injuries. Specific actions or general carelessness could have made them responsible for your accident, and they may be the first party you name in an insurance claim or lawsuit.
Non-Motorists Who May Be Held Liable for Your Accident
While the motorist who caused your collision might be the first person you assign liability to, they might not be the only liable party for your accident. In some cases, a motorist may not be liable for the accident at all.
Other parties that may be held responsible for an accident include:
- A company or individual who employed the driver responsible for your accident at the time of the collision
- A local government responsible for road conditions, the presence of work crews, or other road factors that caused your accident
- A vehicle manufacturer or assembler responsible for a defect that caused your accident or made the outcome of the accident worse

A Lawyer Can Help You Seek Compensation for Your Losses
Hiring a lawyer may relieve legal burdens off you, which can be useful if you still need to focus on treating your back pain. Having a lawyer could:
- Reduce the time and effort investment required of you
- Allow you to focus on recovery
- Reduce any psychological stress that might come from excessive involvement in the insurance or legal process
Your lawyer can handle your insurance claim or lawsuit from start to finish and may tend to both processes if your case requires it. Your lawyer’s goal may be to obtain compensation for your accident-related losses. Financial losses may include the cost of:
- Emergency transportation from the scene of your accident
- Emergency room treatment
- Any hospitalization you endured
- Surgery and other treatments
- Additional medical care you will require in the future
- Rehabilitation for your injuries
- Lost income
- Diminished earning power
- Psychological therapy
- Damage to your vehicle and other personal property
You may also experience losses that are not economic in nature but could have a great toll on you and your loved ones. Such losses may include:
- Physical pain
- Emotional anguish and suffering
- A decline in your quality of life
- Changes to your personality
- Harm to your personal relationships
- The loss of a loved one
Losses from an automotive accident can be overwhelming. Your lawyer can fight to obtain compensation for losses you or a loved one has suffered.
A Lawyer Can Handle Your Claim or Case
Your lawyer may perform the following duties in pursuit of compensation:
- Advising you on whether an insurance claim or lawsuit should be your first course of action
- Determining the party or parties responsible for your losses
- Formulating a strategy for obtaining compensation
- Filing your insurance claim or lawsuit
- Handling all claim- or appeal-related correspondence
- Negotiating an insurance settlement or pre-trial settlement
- Filing any necessary appeals
In addition to fighting for compensation, your lawyer will defend your rights, provide advice throughout the insurance or legal process, and tend to your questions and concerns. A lawyer can be a valuable resource for you in what might be a stressful time in your life.
