Will I Get Rich from my Fender Bender?
No, it is very unlikely that you will get rich from your accident. The personal injury laws were not establish to make plaintiffs rich but to compensate the injured party and make them whole.
People's biggest misconception is that they will get a boat load of money because they were involved in an automobile accident no matter the severity of the accident. The fact is that you will not get rich nor will your lawyer. The amount of compensation is directly related to the amount of damages you suffered.
Personal injury law allows for compensation to those injured in the following ways:
Economic Damages- Lost Earnings, lost Earning Capacity, Medical Expenses.
Non-Economic Damages- Past, Present and Future Pain and Suffering is Recoverable, Loss of Consortium
If you were involved in an automobile accident, contact an attorney to preserve your rights.
