The first thing you need to know is that your losses may be much greater than you realize. Most accident victims focus on their immediate losses: the damage to their vehicle and their emergency room medical bills. But, a serious auto accident can also lead to losses such as:
• Loss of income
• Loss of future earning potential
• Future medical expenses and prescription costs
• Other out-of-pocket expenses
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional trauma and loss of enjoyment of life
In order to collect full compensation for your injuries, you first need to know the full amount you are entitled to recover.
