Auto accidents are a serious type of personal injury accident. To prove a personal injury case, it must fit the legal definition. All drivers are responsible for maintaining control of their car and avoiding other cars while driving. The driver is usually the one at fault in an accident. The auto insurance companies handle the damages in cases like these.

* Boating accidents
* Multiple vehicle pile-ups

Sometimes, other people's negligence causes accidents. Perhaps the road was not safe or properly maintained. In this case, the city, municipality, or state is held accountable for damages done. Maybe the signs were not maintained and as a result were difficult to read; whoever is supposed to maintain the signs is held liable.

Maybe there was a problem with one of the vehicles involved? There have been situations where auto manufacturers, repair shops, and tire manufacturers were held liable. In these cases, proving negligence can be difficult. You would need to find to investigate case laws to see if cases like yours have been won.

You will be able to get as much recovery as the law allows. The point of this is that your compensation should be enough for you to feel complete again. This is called compensatory damages. The idea is to return you to the same position you had prior to the accident. The law ackknowledges that your losses can take a variety of forms. While injured you may lose wages. You might have medical fees. You can have suffering, or pain and suffering. The accident can disfigure or scar you. You may not be able to work or earn money. You might not be able to be intimate with your spouse, this is called loss of consortium.

In cases where injury was the result of another person's irresponsible actions, you can collect "punitive damages". These are also applicable to cases where personal injury is the result of a defective product; that is, something that made the car a hazard and could have been fixed but was not. This compensation is offered in addition to the regular compensatory damages already mentioned.

Some states have "no fault" laws that limit damage collection to "economic only" recovery. This means that they don't allow collection of "punitive damages". You might only be able to collect for actual wages lost, damaged property, and medical expenses. In some states, there is a limit on pain and suffering damages and in others they can not be recovered. You should consult with an attorney to find out about your case and rights. Confirm whether or not you are in a "no fault" state.
