What is the Value of My North Carolina Car Accident Claim?

There are a multitude of factors that affect the amount of your recoverable damages following a motor vehicle accident in North Carolina. The most notable factors that affect the value of a car crash claim are:

  • The severity of your injuries
  • Your lost wages
  • Your property damages

 

The Severity of Your Injuries

The type and severity of your injury following a car crash is the most significant factor to determine the value of your insurance claim. Under North Carolina law, car accident victims are entitled to full compensation for their medical expenses related to the injury.

The total cost of your medical treatment, rehabilitation, therapy, surgeries, prescription medication, and other medical expenses after a car accident are dependent on the severity of your injury.

The general rule when it comes to compensation is, the more severe the injury, the more compensation you can seek. When calculating how much your claim is worth, your attorney will add up all of your medical bills related to your car accident injury.

 

Your Lost Wages

The second factor that will be considered by an attorney is how your injury affects your earning capacity and how much you would have earned if you were not injured in the car crash. You can seek compensation for your lost wages and the loss of benefits, bonuses, and any employment opportunities you missed due to your injury.

 

Your Property Damages

The third factor to consider when calculating your financial losses is the cost of repairing your damaged vehicle and any other belongings that were damaged or destroyed in the crash, including your cell phone.

In the worst-case scenario, your vehicle may be totaled in the car crash. A car is declared a total loss when it costs more to repair the vehicle than what it is worth.

The more damage there is to your vehicle, the more it would cost you to replace the damaged parts. It is critical to make sure that your property damages are properly assessed to get full compensation for your financial losses after the accident.
