Damage Awards Our Car Accident Lawyers in Pottstown May Win

The amount you can expect to receive from a car crash settlement varies greatly, depending on the factors involved, such as how the accident happened, the number of victims involved, whether you will be able to return to work and earn a living, and the extent and permanence of your injuries. Broadly speaking, a minor injury (such as whiplash) will often amount to a settlement of $10,000 to $25,000. More severe injuries, such as brain injuries that require surgery and that have lifetime consequences, may bring multimillion-dollar settlements.

The skill and negotiating power of your attorneys is also a factor. In a successful car accident lawsuit, our Pottstown car accident lawyers may win a damage award that covers the following:

Economic damages for your monetary losses and costs such as:

  • Medical and rehabilitation expenses and costs of continuing care
  • Lost wages and future earning potential
  • Property damage.

Non-economic damages for restitution for damages that do not have a specific dollar value, but negatively impact your life, such as:

  • Physical and emotional pain and suffering
  • Disfigurement
  • Disability
  • Loss of quality of life and consortium.

Punitive damages. In some rare cases where there was gross or willful negligence, you may also be awarded punitive damages. These are meant to punish a defendant that acted in a willful, malicious way and with a wanton disregard for others’ safety.

Our Pottstown Car Accident Attorney Must Prove Negligence

To win your case, our attorneys would have to show that your injuries were caused by another party’s negligence or fault. This means legally proving the following elements:

  • Duty: The defendant owed you a duty to take reasonable care not to cause you harm.
  • Breach: The defendant breached this duty and failed to exercise this care.
  • Cause: The breach of duty caused your injuries.
  • Damages: You suffered damages as a result.

Determining fault is a complex legal process and can be difficult, because there may be issues involved such as bad weather, road construction, another car accident, vehicle malfunctions, or distracted, drunk or aggressive driving. In some cases, there may be multiple at-fault parties in addition to the other driver, such as the owner of a trucking company if you were hit by a truck, the manufacturer of a faulty auto part that failed, a mechanic who did bad repairs on your brakes, or a road repair company that left debris on the road. Our Pottstown car accident attorneys would look to hold all negligent parties accountable, as they all may have insurance and assets that can go toward a settlement.
