South Carolina Auto Accident Lawyer

Medical Expenses

Medicals bills resulting from an auto accident generally produce the greatest anxiety for victims and their families. Serious ongoing treatments and surgeries result in massive medical bills, which most families are not in a position to manage. Your lawyer can communicate with medical providers on your behalf, providing assurance that bills will be paid out of settlement proceeds. That way, victims and their families are not dealing with the added stress of medical bills while they undergoing treatments. After a settlement is reached in your auto accident case, your lawyer can negotiate reductions in medical bills with your providers.

 

Lost Wages

Auto accidents often put people out of work while they are in the hospital or undergoing treatment. Additionally, even when the victim of an auto accident returns to work, he or she is often unable to do the same job as before, and thus they earn less money for their families. The recovery of lost wages is an important part of an auto accident case, because it helps to put the victim back in the position they would have been had the accident never occurred.

 

Emotional Distress

Emotional distress occurs after serious auto accidents, affecting the victim’s normal day-to-day functions. Victims of serious auto accidents often suffer from nightmares and general anxiety. These effects can have a substantial influence on the things victims used to do prior to the accident, such as riding in a car.

 

Pain and Suffering

Auto accident victims are likely to experience ongoing pain and suffering and they heal from their injuries. Unlike lost wages, pain and suffering is an intangible damages which is not as easily quantifiable. However, pain and suffering can have a tremendous impact on a victim’s life after the accident. For instance, if a victim once enjoyed playing tennis on a weekly basis, their pain resulting from an accident can deprive them of that pleasure for quite some time. That detriment is harder to quantify than lost wages, but nevertheless the victim should be compensated to some extent to make up for the loss of the quality of life they enjoyed before the accident.
