How Can a Car Accident Injury Settlement Help You?
Surviving a car wreck not only affects the body, it can also have a negative impact on the mind. Car and truck accidents can cause psychological injuries such as anxiety, depression, phobias, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). When all of the damages are considered, car accident injuries aren’t just painful, they’re costly.
Here is what a car accident injury settlement could help cover:
- Medical bills for treatment, and any ongoing charges for therapy sessions
- Lost wages, missed days of work, and loss of advancement opportunities
- Property damage costs and the often long-term expenses that can accumulate after a car accident (like appointments missed because your vehicle is no longer reliable)
- Pain and suffering, real consequences that an experienced vehicle accident injury attorney can translate into economic numbers for the court
- Punitive damages charged to negligent parties as punishment, funds which may then be awarded to you
- Wrongful death expenses that must be handled by surviving loved ones after a fatal car accident
After a car accident, many people feel overwhelmed with unfair responsibility. In many instances, regardless of fault, you are still left to seek care, pay for it, schedule repairs, pay for those too, and rearrange your life to find alternate transportation. You also have to deal with insurance paperwork, all while healing from injury and trauma, and possibly caring for someone else who was injured in the crash, like a child.
