It’s hard to put a dollar amount on potential damages awarded in a car wreck case. It depends entirely on the situation and severity of the injuries. There are 3 types of damages:
Economic damages: awarded as a direct result of financial loss, including medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and more.
Non-economic damages: includes non-financial hardships like mental distress, pain and suffering, and loss of companionship, reputation or enjoyment of life.
Punitive damages: includes penalties or fines awarded to the defendant on top of the above damages. These are reserved for particularly egregious or reckless offenses.
Again, any damages awarded are entirely dependent several different factors. At Lloyd & Lloyd, we take great care to walk you through the process and fight for what’s rightfully yours. If you have questions about whether you even have a valid lawsuit, we offer free consultations as well.
