  1. What Type of Compensation is Available in a Car Accident Claim?

  2. Following a car accident, most people ask the following questions: what type of compensation is available in a car accident claim? There are several types of damages that a victim of a car accident can claim after an accident. Listed below are all of them with additional information on what steps needs to be taken in order to ensure that the claim is successful.

  3. Medical Expenses Usually, most people worry about medical bills. They are usually very high and just keep pilling up. If you visited a doctor (recommended) following an accident, you will know exactly what injuries you sustained and how much that is going to cost you. Once you do that, you should take a copy of a doctor’s report and hand it over to your attorney. If you don’t have one, consider hiring one of the Car Accident Attorneys in Pittsburg. Give them a call and schedule a consultation right after the accident.

Medical bills which may arise from a car accident are the following: Physical therapy Cognitive therapy Ambulance fees Hospital fees Consultations with a health care professional Accessories (crutches or heat pads) Permanent disability Temporary disability Disfigurement In-home services Prescription drugs and medications Surgeries

  5. Pain and Suffering In most states, pain and suffering are calculated in your total compensation. They are defined as a mental/physical distress for which one can seek damages. Learn more about pain and suffering by speaking with one of the Pittsburgh Car Accident Attorney at SMA Law Group today.

  6. Lost Wages Following an accident, you will not be able to perform your regular work duties. You will not be able to return to work, maybe for the next few months. In fact, you may not even return to work ever due to the nature of your injury. For that reason, you will receive compensation for all the wages you have lost since the moment the injury happened. The jury will determine how much of the lost wages you are entitled to receive, and the amount of future lost earnings that you will be compensated for.

  7. Property Damage If your vehicle has been damaged in the accident, you are entitled to receive compensation for property damage. This usually means restoring the vehicle to the state in which it used to be prior to the accident.

  8. Out-of-pocket Expenses These expenses usually involve everything you paid for as a result of the accident. These involve: Rentals Paying for a cab Parking tickets at the hospital Over the counter medical supplies
