Damages in a car accident claim refer to the financial compensation that car accident victims may be entitled to receive for accident-related losses. In a car accident claim, damages can be awarded to the victim to help cover the costs of medical bills, property damage, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other expenses that may result from the accident. The amount of damages that a victim can receive will depend on a variety of factors, including the severity of their injuries, the extent of property damage, and the circumstances surrounding the accident.
