What Compensation Can I Receive After a Car Accident?
If your vehicle is damaged in a motor vehicle accident in Indiana, you may be able to claim the following damages:
- Property damage: This includes the cost to repair or replace your vehicle, fair market rental value for the time you were without a vehicle, diminishment in the value of your vehicle after repairs, and any other personal property that was damaged in the accident, such as a cell phone or laptop.
- Medical expenses: If you were injured in the accident, you may be able to claim medical expenses related to your treatment, such as hospital bills, doctor visits, prescription medication, and physical therapy.
- Lost wages: If your injuries prevent you from working, you may be able to claim lost wages for the time you missed from work.
- Loss of ability to function: You can also claim damages for the loss of your ability to function, even if it is only a partial loss of function. For example, if you can no longer hike or work out, these losses are compensable.
- Pain and suffering, and mental anguish: You may be able to claim damages for the physical pain and emotional suffering caused by the accident and your injuries.
- Loss of consortium: If the accident has affected your relationship with your spouse or partner, you may be able to claim damages for loss of consortium.
- Scarring and deformity: The law allows a jury to award compensation if you have scarring and deformity from an accident.
To claim these damages, you will need to file a claim with your insurance company or the other driver’s insurance company if they were at fault for the accident. It’s important to document any evidence of the damage, such as photographs of the damage to your vehicle or medical bills related to your treatment.
