What Compensation May Be Needed After an Auto Accident?
Millions of auto accidents occur each year, injuring people and damaging property. Where a matter is very minor, many people file the needed reports with the police or DMV, tell their insurance companies, and go on with their lives, paying the losses out of pocket. But all too often the matter is not minor, and can cost you significant amounts of money and significant personal sacrifice or pain.
As you know, if you suffer a personal injury you'll likely require medical attention and may need rehabilitation, both of which cost money. You may lose income (and/or have to use up "sick time") because of the injury, and while treatment and recovery takes place. You may have sustained property damage to your car and other property. As you can't drive your vehicle while it is being repaired, you may have to rent one, and car repairs and rentals can cost money. You may lose the ability to perform various activities of normal daily living, for a while or long term. You may endure pain and suffering.
The law permits you to seek recovery after an accident to "make you whole
again." The central concept is that you should be compensated in a manner
that, as best as the law can arrange, places you back in the same position as
you were before the accident. In addition to normal compensatory damages designed
to make someone whole, in extreme cases "punitive damages" may be available
if the injury was the result of someone else's reckless or irresponsible behavior,
or if the cause of the accident or the extent of the injury was caused by something
about the car that is dangerous - a defective product - that the manufacturer
should have corrected.
