Car accidents don’t just leave behind damaged vehicles—they leave people with real injuries, financial strain, emotional trauma, and unanswered questions. One of the most common concerns victims have in the aftermath is simple: “Can I sue for this?” The answer depends on several key factors.
Manny Chahal, a seasoned personal injury lawyer, helps injured individuals across multiple states understand their legal rights after a crash—and when pursuing a car accident lawsuit is not only possible, but necessary.
When Can You Sue After a Car Accident?
In general, you have the right to sue when another party’s negligence causes you harm. That might be a reckless driver, a commercial vehicle operator, a distracted motorist, or even a third party like a negligent business or government entity.
You may be eligible to sue if:
- You suffered serious injuries that extend beyond basic medical care
- Your pain, suffering, or quality of life has been significantly impacted
- Another driver was clearly at fault
- Your insurance claim was denied or undervalued
- You lost income due to inability to work
- You incurred significant out-of-pocket expenses
Each case is unique—and that’s where a lawyer like Manny Chahal becomes essential.
What Damages Can You Recover?
A successful car accident lawsuit can help recover more than just the cost of a car repair. Legal action can secure comprehensive compensation for:
- Medical expenses (including ongoing treatment or rehabilitation)
- Lost wages and reduced future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Disfigurement or permanent impairment
- Loss of enjoyment of life
In wrongful death cases, surviving family members may also recover funeral costs, loss of companionship, and other economic damages.
Why Insurance Alone May Not Be Enough
While insurance plays a role, it often falls short. Insurance companies are profit-driven and frequently offer lowball settlements that do not reflect the true cost of injuries and losses.
Even in states with No-Fault insurance systems, there are thresholds that allow victims to step outside the system and sue for damages—especially in cases of serious bodily injury or permanent impairment.
Manny Chahal has seen firsthand how insurers minimize claims. That’s why he steps in early—to ensure injured individuals don’t settle for less than they’re legally entitled to.

How Long Do You Have to Sue?
Most states enforce strict statutes of limitations—deadlines that limit how long you have to file a car accident lawsuit. In many cases, you may only have one to three years from the date of the accident to act.
Waiting too long can mean losing your right to sue entirely. That’s why speaking to an auto accident legal help professional early—before evidence disappears or deadlines pass—is so important.
Manny Chahal offers free consultations to help victims understand their timelines and legal options.
Final Thoughts: Don’t Guess. Know Your Rights.
