It is possible to get fair compensation for damaged personal property in the event you are in a car accident, including computers, phones, sunglasses, clothes, etc. You can generally file a personal property claim for any property that you can prove was destroyed in an accident. For example, suppose you were driving home with two week’s worth of groceries in your vehicle. This could easily reach $400 in value. Save your grocery receipt to support the claim if all the groceries are ruined in the accident.
