Pain and suffering are considered non-economic damages and are calculated based on factors like the severity of injuries, impact on your daily life, and recovery duration. Your lawyer can provide an estimate.
How long do I have to file a claim?
The time limit to file a claim, known as the statute of limitations, varies by state. It's typically between one to three years from the accident date. Consult a lawyer to understand the specific deadline applicable to your case.
Does fault affect my ability to claim?
Fault does play a role, but even if you're partially at fault, you may still be able to recover some compensation. The amount may be reduced by your share of the fault, depending on state laws.
What if the other driver is uninsured?
If the other driver is uninsured, you may still obtain compensation through your own insurance policy, provided you have uninsured motorist coverage. This may cover medical expenses and other damages.
