If you’ve been injured in a car accident, you may be facing mounting medical bills, lost income, and a long road to recovery. One of the most common questions we hear at The Pisanchyn Law Firm is: “How does car accident injury compensation work?”

This guide explains the process, what you may be entitled to, and how we can help you recover the compensation you deserve.

What Is Car Accident Injury Compensation?

Car accident injury compensation is the financial recovery you may be entitled to if you’ve suffered injuries due to another driver’s negligence. This compensation is meant to cover the damages you’ve experienced—both economic and non-economic.

What Can You Be Compensated For?

At The Pisanchyn Law Firm, we help clients pursue compensation for:

✅ Medical Expenses

  • Emergency room visits

  • Surgeries

  • Rehabilitation and physical therapy

  • Prescription medications

  • Future medical care

✅ Lost Wages

If your injuries caused you to miss work—or limit your future ability to work—you may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Current lost income

  • Loss of future earning capacity

✅ Pain and Suffering

This refers to the physical pain and emotional distress caused by the accident. It can also include:

  • Anxiety or PTSD

  • Loss of enjoyment of life

  • Sleep disturbances

  • Chronic pain

✅ Property Damage

You may also be compensated for damage to your vehicle and any other personal property affected during the crash.

✅ Punitive Damages

In cases of extreme negligence or reckless behavior (like drunk driving), punitive damages may be awarded to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar actions.

How Is Compensation Determined?

The amount of car accident injury compensation you receive depends on several factors, including:

  • Severity of your injuries

  • Impact on your daily life and ability to work

  • Total cost of medical treatment

  • Evidence of the other driver’s fault

  • Insurance policy limits (yours and theirs)

We work with medical experts, vocational professionals, and accident reconstructionists to fully document your losses and build a strong case on your behalf.

What If the Insurance Company Offers a Low Settlement?

Insurance companies often try to settle quickly—and for far less than you may actually deserve. That’s why having experienced legal representation is so important.

At The Pisanchyn Law Firm, we negotiate aggressively and, if needed, are fully prepared to take your case to court to fight for the maximum compensation.

How We Help You Maximize Your Claim

Our car accident attorneys will:

  • Investigate your accident and gather all necessary evidence

  • Handle communications and negotiations with insurance companies

  • Consult with experts to accurately value your claim

  • File a lawsuit if needed and represent you in court

  • Provide compassionate guidance throughout the process

We don’t charge any upfront fees. You only pay if we win.
