What Types of Damages Can Be Recovered for a Los Banos Car Accident?
When a person has been injured after a motor vehicle collision due to the negligence of another, they may be entitled to financial recovery. This can be done by filing a personal injury claim against the at-fault party’s insurance company. The types of compensation available in car accident injury cases generally include economic and noneconomic damages, such as:
- Medical expenses for past and future treatment of injuries suffered in the auto accident.
- Lost wages for the time an employee misses from work to recover from car accident-related injuries.
- Out of pocket expenses for medical devices like crutches or prescription medications.
- Disfigurement for the emotional trauma and costs of cosmetic procedures to repair the scarring that was caused by the crash.
- Loss of consortium for damage caused to a marital relationship as a result of an auto accident-related injury.
- Pain and suffering, which is subjective and differs in value from case to case.
There are specific factors insurers look at when determining the value of a personal injury settlement offer. For details on what these factors are and how they may affect your personal injury claim, watch the video below.
Should You Hire an Attorney for an Auto Accident?
After a severe car accident, it may be necessary to retain experts to prove the true value of a personal injury case to an insurance company. Such expert testimony may also prove invaluable if the claim is not settled with the insurer and taken to court to await the decision of a jury. Since the stakes are often high, for both the injured party and the insurance company, when proving the extent of damages in a personal injury lawsuit, it is best to retain an experienced attorney to handle the case. At AutoAccident.com, our law firm enlists experts to prepare comprehensive medical reports, produce economic reports associated with future lost income and earning capacity, create life care plans, and produce a day in the life videos. This way, we can build a strong and compelling case for fair financial compensation for catastrophic injuries and damages incurred.
