What am I entitled to after an auto accident?
When you are in a car accident, there are different types of damages that you can be compensated for. Automobile insurance policies usually have separate liability coverage for damage to property and for bodily injury. There are various damages and expenses that fall under these two classes of coverage. Punitive damages are damages that can be covered under both the property damage liability coverage and the bodily injury liability coverage. Punitive damages punish the at fault driver for reckless/grossly negligent actions (i.e. DUI or texting while driving).
Property damage liability coverage can cover:
- Accident related repairs of your vehicle
- The value of your vehicle if a total loss
- Cost of a rental vehicle while your car is being repaired or until the liability insurance makes an offer for the value
- Loss of personal items (i.e. phone, car seats, etc.)
- Punitive damages
Bodily injury liability coverage can cover:
- Medical expenses
- Lost Wages
- Future medical expenses
- Permanent injuries and scarring
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of earning capacity and future wages
- Punitive damages
- Wrongful death of a family member
