Auto accidents are by far the leading cause of personal injury claims. Each state has its own laws regarding the types of damages that are recoverable in an auto accident. In general, however, a person injured by the carelessness of another has a right to compensation for pain and suffering, reimbursement for medical bills and lost wages incurred due to the accident, and, in some cases, punitive damages. There are many sources of possible recovery for auto accident victims and it is important that they all be identified. Remember: Your insurance company, let alone that of the driver who has injured you, does not necessarily have your best interests at heart. You cannot really trust their advice, since their goal is not necessarily your well-being, but the protection of their bottom line.
