Should my car accident compensation include more than just my car damage?

Typically, car accident compensation includes more than simply car damage.  Depending on the circumstances or facts of the case, injured parties may seek restitution for 1) loss of wages, past and future, 2) pain and suffering, 3) property damage, 4) medical expenses, present and future, if they are reasonable and necessary,  5) loss of quality of life, 6) physical impairment and disfigurement, 7) emotional distress, and 8) loss of companionship and consortium. 

For instance, the injured driver may seek reimbursement of expenses relating to rehabilitation, surgery, hospitalization, emergency care, and long-term care.  Accident victims forced to take time off from work to recuperate from injuries can also file a claim for lost wages.  They may also make a claim for emotion distress such as stress, anxiety, shock, and embarrassment as injuries proximately caused by the accident.
