At Your Side When Life Changes

Compensation claims vary after car crashes

On Behalf of | May 12, 2017 | Car Accidents, Firm News |

In our previous blog post, we discussed some of the reasons why you should take pictures when you are in a car accident. These pictures can prove to be valuable if you opt to seek compensation after the crash. Of course, there are some instances, such as when injuries are catastrophic, that you might not be able to get pictures right away.

Even if you can’t get pictures of the crash, you can still seek compensation. Other evidence can be useful in these cases, so we can help you discover what might work in your case. It is imperative that you take the time to go over the possibilities to decide how your case will move forward.

When you seek compensation, you have to determine how much compensation you are seeking. This is determined by the severity of the injuries you suffered, as well as by the effects they have on your life. You have to think about all of the possible damages that you are facing because of the crash.

Some of the damages that you might include in your claim are for pain and suffering that the accident caused and compensation for money you didn’t earn if you had to take time off work. You might also seek compensation for the medical bills and care costs related to the accident.

We can help you go over different types of damages to determine what types you will claim. We will also help you place a figure on these damage types so that your costs from the past, the present and the future are included.
