Potential Compensation and How to Recover It
Accident victims can recover compensation for any damages that directly resulted from the crash in which they were injured. They will, however, need to have evidence to prove them. For example, if you suffered a head or brain injury in a crash, you may be compensated for any medical bills related to that injury. (The sooner you visit the doctor, the more likely your medical expenses will be covered, as the at-fault party will have a hard time claiming no real harm was done.)
Other damages you may be compensated for include but are not limited to:
- Cost of medication
- Repairs to your vehicle
- Pain and suffering
- Lost wages
- Reduced future earning potential
- Short- or long-term disability accommodations
Damages that do not have a direct economic impact, such as pain and suffering, are considered “non-economic” damages. While accident victims have the right to represent themselves, it is best to retain the help of a car accident attorney to maximize your economic and non-economic damages. All too often, accident victims ask for too little compensation or unintentionally wreck their case by trying to comply with greedy insurance adjusters.
