What Damages are Recoverable in a Side-Impact Car Wreck Claim?
An individual who sustains an injury in a side-impact car accident may be able to seek recovery for economic damages and human damages that some people refer to as non-economic damages. Economic damages are damages which are easily quantified based on bills or other records. Human damages are more difficult to quantify but are very important. In order to have a basis for recovery of damages, the injured party must be able to prove that the at-fault party’s failure to exercise reasonable care led directly to the victim’s injuries.
