What damages can I recover in a car accident lawsuit?
If you were injured in a car accident caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for a wide range of damages. A successful car accident lawsuit can help you recover:
- Medical expenses – hospital bills, surgeries, rehab, and future medical care
- Lost wages – for time you’ve missed from work due to your injuries
- Property damage – to repair or replace your vehicle
- Pain and suffering – physical pain, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life
- Loss of earning capacity – if your injuries impact your long-term ability to work
- Out-of-pocket costs – such as transportation to medical appointments or assistive devices
Every case is different, so it’s important to speak with a car accident attorney to learn what types of compensation may apply to your situation.
