Types of Compensation in Car Wrecks
Compensation in car wrecks must be proven with evidence of damages. In most car wrecks, you should be compensated for medical bills, property damages, out-of-pocket expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, future loss of earning capacity, future pain and suffering, past and future disfigurement, and past and future impairment. Spouses of several injured persons may also seek recovery for loss of consortium and household services.
In order to be fully compensated for all of these damages, expert testimony is usually required by the court. Experts may include orthopaedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, psychiatrists, vocational rehabilitationists, economists, life care planners, and diminished value experts. Without expert testimony, the court can dismiss claims where it finds insufficient evidence. Medical records and bills must also be submitted with proper affidavits to authenticate the records and prove up the reasonableness and necessity of the medical bills. It is strongly suggested that you speak with an experienced car wreck attorney about the types of compensation you may seek and the evidence you will need in order to be fully compensated.
