Who Is Responsible for the Accident?
A fundamental question following any accident is that of liability. Liability is the legal concept that is essentially means “fault” — the question of who is at fault for the accident. Although the concept sounds simple, the determination of liability is sometimes not simple at all. In many cases, more than one party (person or corporation or other legal entity) is liable. Indeed, more than one insurance company may be trying to assess their own financial responsibility.
From time to time, a person who is making the accident claim may be liable to some degree for his or her accident. Percentages are often used by a court or jury to describe liability — for example, a plaintiff (the accident victim) being found 30 percent liable, and the defendant being 70 percent liable.
In most cases, even if the person making the claim is partially liable, he or she may still be eligible to recover damages.
How Much Is Your Accident Claim Worth?
Although the same types of accidents are common—for example, car crashes or slip and fall, or premises liability, etc.—every particular accident and resulting claim is unique. Establishing the value of an accident claim involving injury is not an exact science, since the ultimate answer of the “worth” of the case is determined by a judge or jury. Some of the obvious consequences of an accident and injury are easy to describe, and it’s easy to put a dollar amount to them. Other consequences are not so easily explained, and require an expert opinion. The following are the most common losses taken into consideration when determining compensation in an accident claim involving injury:
- Medical costs and related expenses
- Income lost because of the accident, because of time spent receiving medical treatment or undergoing rehabilitation
- Permanent disfigurement or physical disability
- Emotional damages, such as stress, depression, embarrassment, or strains on family relationships
- Loss of family, social, or educational experiences (e.g., missed school or training, vacation, special event, or other opportunity )
- Damaged property
