Your financial damages should be fully compensated after a Tulare Car Accident. That would include every medical bill and help replacing the paychecks you lose while missing work hours. The cost to repair or replace your car must also be reimbursed.
In addition, things that can’t be assigned a dollar value could also be compensated. That can include the pain you have to endure. It would involve the emotional trauma an accident creates in your life. Other factors are considered when deciding the size of your settlement check.
How Do I Determine What to Demand After a Car Accident?
An accident on a busy Tulare thoroughfare like J Street can leave you shaken up and in pain. When things settle back down, you may also have a lot of confusion over who will foot the bill for such a frightening incident. It should always be the at-fault driver, but car insurance companies can sometimes try to purposely confuse the situation so they can avoid financial liability.
Part of what you’ll receive money for after an accident will depend on you. You’ll need to make a complete list of everything you’ve been through financially and put through emotionally. Then you’ll need to demand the maximum possible for these factors and stay firm when an insurance adjuster tries to offer you much less.
A skilled Tulare car accident lawyer helps you determine everything you should expect help with and includes these components in an insurance claim. Every damage you’ve suffered must be on the list, because anything left off is something adjusters can ignore.
Your lawyer will demand money for these factors and more, including some things most victims don’t realize they can receive money for:
- Totals on all your hospital bills and rehabilitation costs
- Long-term support if you suffer a physical disability
- Support for the pain that victims suffer in the accident and in recovery
- Support for the emotional toll a car accident and difficult injury leave behind
- Loss of enjoyment of life, including being unable to participate in family activities and hobbies
- Travel costs getting to appointments
- Lost income and benefits at work
- Money to help victims prepare for new careers if their injuries make it impossible to return to a previous job
- Money for a new car or car repairs
- Wrongful death benefits for the families of victims
