If you were involved in an auto accident, you are probably wondering what type of 
damages that you can recover. Every situation is different, but there are a number of things that you could receive compensation for.
Property Damage
This seems pretty obvious, but you need to be compensated for repair to the fenders, bumpers, parts, and other physical damage to your car, and well as the use of a rental car.
Medical Expenses
If you or your passengers were hurt, you are entitled to compensation for medical treatment, chiropractic care, and medicines procured as a result of the accident. You need to have paperwork from your providers verifying that your treatment was a result of the accident.
Lost Wages
Obviously if you can’t go to work, you are entitled to compensation. Again, you are going to need paperwork to verify loss of wages.
Lost Earning Capacity
If there is a lingering condition as a result of the accident, you may be entitled to compensation for future lost wages. Of course disability claims may enter into this process first.
Pain and Suffering
There may obviously be some pain and suffering involved in the situation. This part may be difficult to place a value on. Your attorney can help you with that part.
Obtaining Compensation
Many cases are resolved through an insurance settlement that is based on the value of damages covered by the insurance policy. However, the insurance company can only pay compensation up to the limits of the policy.
