What Types of Compensation Can I Get After a Car Accident?
In the attached video, After such a traumatic event, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed, but knowing your rights can help ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
Attorney Shapiro breaks down the key types of compensation you can seek after a car accident, starting with lost wages. If your injuries prevent you from working, you are entitled to recover both past and future lost wages. Additionally, loss of earning capacity is another form of compensation if your injuries prevent you from returning to your previous job or require you to take a lower-paying job due to physical limitations.
One of the most significant areas of compensation is pain and suffering, which can be divided into two components: physical pain from the injury itself and emotional suffering caused by the impact on your life. This could include the inability to perform everyday activities, like playing with your children or engaging in hobbies you once enjoyed.
Attorney Shapiro also emphasizes the importance of property damage compensation, which covers repairs or replacement of your vehicle. While many people can handle this on their own, his office is available if legal help is needed. Another often overlooked type of compensation is loss of consortium, which allows your spouse to make a claim for the loss of companionship, care, and intimacy caused by your injuries.
