Accident that ends in a Financial Loss

A lot of people do not realize, that as well as making a claim for the bodily harm that you have suffered as a result of a tragic incident that was not your liability, you can also lay claim for financial losses that you incurred as a result of having the accident. An example: you cannot work because you are injured, therefore you don't get the salary that you would otherwise have had.

Road traffic accidents, for example, can result in excess in insurance policy, cost in repairing the vehicle, the value of the vehicle, prior to an accident, is written off, hire charges, loss of the use of a car, recovery charges, storage charges and collection charges in connected to the vehicle.

Loss of salary is a common result, medication costs, expense of travels to doctor's appointments, any damage of clothes or property that was inside the automobile and the expense of care and assistance that was provided to you. You may be able to claim for the cost of care and assistance even if it was provided by, for example your partner or other family at no cost to you.

Even future financial losses (that have not happened yet) can be claimed for, like future loss of income if you will not be able to work again.

It is worth discussing in detail with a solicitor the other consequences of the accident, besides the injury that you received, in order that all legitimate claims for loss can be made.
