How Much is Your Car Accident Claim Worth?
Of course, if you know someone else should be liable for your car accident losses, it is only natural to wonder how much compensation you might receive. This is a highly specific calculation, and no attorney should give you a concrete answer without first carefully evaluating your individual circumstances. That being said, you might get an idea of what your claim might be worth by examining your various losses.
In a car accident claim, injured claimants often seek financial recovery for the following, among other losses:
Medical expenses – If you add up all the medical bills for treatment you already received, you can get an idea of the compensation you deserve for medical expenses. However, if you are not finished with your medical treatment, or you need ongoing treatment for years to come, you will need to consider the estimated costs of future treatment, as well. This often requires the help of medical experts.
Lost earnings – Serious injuries usually mean you will need to miss work. You might miss due to medical appointments, or because your injury requires rest or prevents you from doing your job. In any situation, if you lose income due to your injury, you can seek recovery for those lost earnings. You also must consider whether your income will be diminished in the future due to your injury.
Intangible losses – These losses include pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, permanent disabilities, mental trauma, and more. These have no dollar sign automatically attached, so it is best to have a lawyer conduct this type of calculation.
