As I was following the bend on a road in the mountains, an oncoming car crossed over the center line and collided into my vehicle. I sustained injuries to my chest. Is there more to car accident injury compensation than just medical bills?

Answer:
Car accident victims may recover damages for lost earning capacity and lost wages, both past and future. If there is a likelihood that they will be permanently disabled and/or disfigured, they recover for the future effects of such injuries. If the accident limited or prevented them from partaking in leisure activities or activities they used to do prior being injured, they may recover damages for the loss of conortium and loss of enjoyment of life, both past and future. Individuals injured in auto accidents can also recover damages for past and future physical and mental pain and suffering. Emotional pain and suffering includes embarrassment, humiliation, distress, grief, and anguish. Injured parties may also seek restitution for the costs of replacing or repair property damaged by the accident. Where the driver died as a result of the crash, his or her family may recoup funeral expenses.
