An attorney cannot guarantee any specific outcome or amount of compensation in a personal injury case. However, a car accident lawyer can review the documentation of your injuries and anticipated future expenses to calculate the appropriate amount to seek.
In a car accident case, you may have the right to demand compensation for various financial and personal losses, such as:
- Medical treatment and rehabilitation expenses.
- Costs of replacement services, such as housekeeping or childcare, if your disabilities interfere with your ability to perform daily tasks.
- Costs of long-term disability care.
- Future loss of income due to permanent disabilities limiting your ability to work or forcing you to take a lower-paying job.
- Physical pain and emotional distress.
- Lost quality of life due to disabilities or scarring and disfigurement.
- Costs of car repairs or replacement.
Various factors will influence the value of your car accident case, including:
- The type and severity of the injuries you suffered.
- The kinds of medical care and rehabilitation you need.
- Whether your injuries result in permanent disabilities.
- Whether you need to take time off work during your recovery.
- Whether you need long-term disability care or personal assistance.
- The number of potentially liable parties.
- Whether you share any responsibility for causing the car accident.
- The insurance coverage available to pay claims.
