How Much Money Can I Get For My Car Accident?
Each case is different and many factors have to be considered to determine how much you are owed after a car accident. Generally speaking, a person injured in a car crash is entitled to recover economic and non-economic damages from the person who caused the collision. Economic damages include past and future medical expenses and missed wages, among others. Examples of non-economic damages include physical pain, mental suffering and emotional distress. That said, insurance companies will not compensate someone without sufficient proof of those losses, and often times a lawyer and/or lawsuit is required to hold the insurance companies and wrongdoers fully accountable for those amounts they legally owe.
While terms such as “pain and suffering” and “economic damages” get casually thrown around, it takes a seasoned attorney to help a deserving injury victim evaluate each of these categories to make sure nothing gets overlooked before agreeing to a settlement. Because once a person settles with the insurance company, they typically cannot come back later to try and recoup losses that were not contemplated at the time of that settlement.
Even if you are partly to blame for a car crash, you may still be able to get some compensation from the other driver for the damages referenced above at a comparable percentage of fault that person had.
Steps You Can Take to Protect Your Legal Rights After an Auto Accident
The most important thing is your health and safety. As such, it is important that you call 9-1-1 in an emergency setting or, at the very least, contact a doctor to establish the treatment you need. Too many individuals try to “tough it out” and either do more harm or face scrutiny from the insurance companies who later ask why you didn’t seek out medical care if you were in pain. Here at Tower Legal Group we take the approach of “prepare for the worst and hope for the best”.
If it is safe to do so, here are some things you may want to consider doing:
- Try to take as many photos and/or videos of any damage to the vehicles.
- Get the full name, date of birth, phone number and address of the person who caused the accident as well as their drivers license and insurance information.
- Try to identify and get contact info for any witnesses to the accident and/or the aftermath. Even if that witness already gave a statement, it helps to have their information in case there are any details that are relevant to your case that weren’t discussed.
- Be sure to keep copies of any expenses you have like medical bills, lost wages and anything that cost you money because of the accident.
- If you have any injuries that are visible such as bruises, seatbelt marks or skin irritation after an airbag deploys, try to take photos as soon as possible. Insurance companies won’t take your word for it later.
- Avoid giving recorded statements to the at-fault person’s insurance company, especially with respect to your injuries. It is important to understand that they are taking these to try and use them against you, not in an effort to be fair to you.
- Be sure to reach out to an ethical and experienced auto accident attorney, like us at Tower Legal Group, to help you determine what the full value of your case might be and advocate on your behalf to ensure you get what you deserve.
California Auto Accident Law Concepts and Procedure
California law allows a person who is injured in an auto accident to file a lawsuit against the person who is responsible, even if that person didn’t intentionally cause the car collision. Sometimes cases can be resolved with the insurance company or wrongdoer without the need to file a lawsuit, but
Contact us today so we can discuss if your case has a statute of limitations. Example, if road construction or a government agency is the cause of the accident, there could be a statute of limitations to deal with.
