Compensation for a car accident is different in every accident. The amount of damages available to a victim depends on the parties involved, the severity and extent of the victim’s injuries, and the impact of the accident on the victim’s life overall.
Damage awards for car accident injuries often include:
Medical bills and hospitalization;
Lost wages;
Loss of income;
Property damages;
Pain and suffering;
Mental and emotional trauma; and
When applicable, wrongful death expenses.
Any compensation for a car accident should take future accident-related medical care and expenses into account.
