The injured driver or passenger must have incurred at least $3,000 in medical bills or have suffered from certain injuries including dismemberment, permanent impairment, permanent disfigurement, or permanent disability.

Compensatory damages in a car accident can include lost wages because of the inability to earn, medical bills, the cost of vehicle damage, pain and suffering, or permanent disability. Depending on the situation, you may be able to get compensated for punitive damages. This is used to punish the at fault drive for wrongdoing.

  5. Compensatory and Punitive Damages Punitive Damages Punitive damages are typically used in cases where the fault driver’s actions are seen as intentional or negligent in nature.

For damages to your car that occurred from the accident, you will need to file suit within 3 years. For personal injuries you have suffered, for example a broken bone, you will have up to 4 years to file suit. If you are awarded punitive damages then, you will get the first $50,000.
