Compensation After a Car Accident – What is a Case Worth?

Valuing a car accident case will require a comprehensive review of medical records, the predicted duration of the recovery time from the injuries, and the long-term impact they have on the individual. The types of compensation pursued are in two general categories, economic and non-economic:

  • Economic damages: These are the financial losses experienced by the injured individual, including medical bills, hospital bills, skilled nursing, rehabilitation costs, lost wages now and estimated in the future, lost earning capacity, medications, transportation, and all other financial losses.
  • Non-economic damages: Often the highest value portion of the compensation in a personal injury case, a value is given to the personal losses experienced by the injured individual, including pain and suffering, reduced quality of life, emotional anguish, and other damages associated with changes in lifestyle and abilities.
