While all crashes and the claims that result from
them are unique, most have elements that are the
same.

• Damages In Car Accident Claims

Most claims are for

• Medical expenses
• Physical rehabilitation and therapy
• Lost income
• Diminished capacity to earn a living
• Compensation for pain and suffering
• Loss or damage to property

For car accidents that result in the death of the
victim, survivors can pursue a wrongful death
claim against the at-fault party. This claim
seeks monetary damages to replace the financial
void left by the early death of the accident
victim. Some of the most-often seen claims
involve intersection accidents, rear-end
accidents, and accidents caused by drunk or
impaired drivers. Accidents resulting from
drivers texting or talking on the phone while
driving are also common.

Comparative Negligence
The settlements for car accident victims are
governed by the concept of comparative
negligence. This means that if you were partially
responsible for the accident that resulted in
your injuries, then any award you receive as a
result will be reduced by the percentage of your
responsibility.
