When you are injured in a car crash, it's time to think about compensation. If you find yourself unable to work and looking at potential permanent disability, your financial future is at risk.
Injuries sustained from a car crash can be compensated, but you have to work with a dedicated and experienced personal injury attorney to seek what is rightfully yours.
Injuries You Can Measure
Compensation for car accident injuries comes in two forms, those you can measure and those that are difficult to valuate. Pecuniary losses, or those you can assign a monetary value, to include:
- Lost wages because of inability to work
- Medical bills from the accident
- Property damage from the accident
Injuries that are More Difficult to Measure
When you work with a personal injury attorney, you will discuss your injuries and come up with a figure that would rightfully compensate you. This is done by adding up both the pecuniary and non-pecuniary losses. Non-pecuniary losses include:
- Loss of enjoyment
- Pain and suffering
In general, the worse your injuries are, the more compensation you may be eligible to receive for non-pecuniary losses. The biggest problem is that the range of compensation can be extremely wide, and it takes time to prove the extent of your pain and suffering.
To Help Your Personal Injury Case
As a person injured in a car crash, it is essential to get treatment for your injuries. Pay attention to your medical providers and listen to the advice they give you for your injuries. When it comes to pain and suffering, your treatment providers will be the people who offer proof in your case regarding your injuries.
Skipping appointments or not following through with treatment can weaken your case.
