What can I be compensated for after a car accident?

A successful car accident claim may include compensation for a wide range of damages. This can include current and future medical bills, emergency room costs, prescriptions, and rehabilitation. You may also be eligible for lost wages if you miss work, or reduced earning capacity if your injuries prevent you from returning to your previous job. In addition, victims can seek non-economic damages for pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. If a loved one passed away, a wrongful death claim may provide compensation for funeral costs, lost companionship, and other family losses.
