Every case is different, so there is no way to say how much your case is worth without considering your losses. In general, more serious accidents that result in more severe injuries and property damage are worth more money. A lawyer can evaluate your case and gather evidence to determine the full value of your losses. You may be entitled to these damages: Economic Damages in a Drowsy Driving Accident Case You could recover economic damages, which compensate you for tangible losses related to the drowsy driving accident. These losses may include: Medical expenses such as emergency care, diagnostic imaging, surgeries, follow-up appointments, rehabilitative therapies, and long-term care Medical equipment such as braces, crutches, wheelchairs, and scooters Loss of income if you cannot work temporarily or permanently Property damage for your vehicle’s repair or replacement You can seek compensation for the past, present, and future expenses related to your accident losses. So, if you require long-term medical care for months, your attorney can factor this into the overall value of your case. Noneconomic Damages in a Drowsy Driving Accident Case You could recover noneconomic damages, which compensate you for intangible losses like pain and suffering. You could recover noneconomic damages if you: Became permanently disabled or disfigured Suffer from chronic pain Required multiple surgeries or other interventions Endured a long recovery Suffered emotional trauma Developed a mental health condition like depression or anxiety Lost the ability to participate in hobbies or activities you once enjoyed Experience a reduced quality of life While these damages may be more challenging to prove, that doesn’t mean they don’t have value in your case. An attorney with experience handling drowsy driving claims can work to understand exactly how the accident affected you. Then, they’ll use their prior experience with valuing noneconomic damages to seek what you deserve. Wrongful Death Damages in a Drowsy Driving Accident Case If you lost a family member in a drowsy driving accident, you could recover damages for wrongful death. Some states specify which family member can seek wrongful death damages, and some specify the exact damages available. Talk to a lawyer in your area about the laws in your state.
