Toy cars, legal paperwork and cash

Car accidents are dangerous and frightening, but also costly. Your car is damaged—or totaled—and you’re injured and forced to take time off from work. The expenses can add up quickly. If another driver’s negligence injured you in a car accident, you’re no doubt feeling overwhelmed, and a cascade of medical bills certainly doesn’t help. An experienced car accident attorney can help you get a handle on the situation and will advocate for your claim’s just resolution—which means adequate compensation for the losses you’ve incurred.

Property Damage: Your Vehicle

Your (or the responsible party’s) car insurance most likely will cover damage to your car, but most people carry a deductible that comes out of pocket, and there’s also the expense of renting another vehicle in the interim (which insurance may not cover). The expenses associated with property damage can add up while your claim processes. As a point of reference, the Rocky Mountain Insurance Information Association (RMIIA) reports that the average auto liability claim following a car crash was $3,231 in 2013.

Medical Expenses

If a car accident injured you, you’re going through a difficult time—and the last thing you want to worry about is your mounting medical expenses. These costs, nevertheless, do accrue. Your medical expenses after an accident can come from:

  • Emergency transportation
  • Emergency medical care
  • Surgeries and aftercare
  • Ongoing doctor care
  • Care from specialists
  • Physical therapy
  • Medical prescriptions
  • Adaptive devices during recovery
  • Ongoing treatments, therapies, medications, and follow-up care

The RMIIA relays that in 2013, the average auto liability claim for bodily injuries after a car crash was $15,443, but this is just an average, and your actual expenses—depending on the severity of your injuries—can climb much higher. Other Expenses Related to Your Car Accident Car accidents can damage your life beyond property and medical expenses. After a car crash, you may lose productivity at work, or your injuries may prevent you from working and earning a living, either temporarily or permanently. You may experience pain and suffering, a diminished enjoyment of life, and lost affection or companionship. If someone else’s negligence injured you in a car crash, you’ve had to endure hardships that you otherwise wouldn’t have suffered, and it’s your right to seek compensation for all of those losses. Allow a skilled car accident attorney to efficiently navigate your claim toward the compensation to which the law entitles you.
