To receive compensation, you will need to file a claim with the at-fault driver's insurance company. The insurance company will investigate the accident and determine if the other driver was at fault. If the insurance company finds that the other driver was at fault, it will offer you a settlement.
You can negotiate the settlement with the insurance company, or you can file a lawsuit if you are not satisfied with the offer. If you file a lawsuit, you will need to prove that the other driver was negligent and that your injuries were caused by the accident.
If you are successful in your lawsuit, you may be awarded damages for your injuries and losses. The amount of damages will depend on the severity of your injuries, your medical expenses, your lost wages, and your pain and suffering.
In addition to compensation from the insurance company, you may also be entitled to government benefits, such as Social Security disability benefits or workers' compensation benefits. You should contact your local Social Security office or workers' compensation office to learn more about these benefits.
