Injury Claims
Car accident victims are entitled to recover damages and compensation for the injuries sustained in the accident. In a car accident injury claim, the injured party is known as the plaintiff and the alleged offender is called the defendant. In a valid injury claim, the following three points are proved:
- The defendant was negligent
- This negligence was the cause of the car accident
- The car accident was the cause of the plaintiff’s injuries
Proving negligence is the essential first step. The law does not allow you to be compensated injuries that are your own fault. Therefore, you must prove that the car accident was someone else’s fault and occurred as a result of that person's negligence.
If fault can be established, injured car accident victims can recover compensation and damages for the following:
- Medical expenses incurred in the treatment of injuries
- Future medical expenses
- Loss of wages
- Loss of future wages
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Pain and suffering
