    How Much Can You Get in a Car Accident Lawsuit?

    If you have been injured in an accident, your first priority should be getting well. You should see a doctor right away and follow the recommendations for medication and treatment. This is easier said than done as medical bills can be exorbitant, medications can have side effects, and medical treatment can be very time-consuming. You are certain to miss hours off of work if you have to have medical treatments for injuries. 

    If the car accident was not your fault, you may be wondering if it is worth it to sue a negligent driver who caused the collision and how much money you would get if you should take them to court. There are a number of factors that will figure into the compensation that you can receive for an accident claim. 

    Insurance Laws in California

     Before you file a car accident lawsuit in California, you should contact your insurance company and file a claim.

    There are two different Insurance rules in the United States; fault and no-fault. In a no-fault state, the driver’s own insurance company will pay for his or her injuries and damages to their car no matter who caused the crash. In a fault state, like California, the person who is responsible for the collision will also be responsible for its associated bills.

    California is a pure comparative fault state, which means that each driver is responsible for the portion of the collision they caused. If you were 20% responsible for an accident and the other driver was 80% responsible for it, you may file a claim for 80% of your accident-related bills.

    When you file a claim with your insurance company, they will contact the at-fault driver’s insurance company. That company will investigate your claim and either accept or deny it. If they accept your claim, they will make you a settlement offer. There is a certain amount of money that they should give you for injuries and property damage, and if they don’t, you may want to contact an attorney and take the insurer to court.

    Damages to Your Car

    The negligent driver’s insurance company should pay for any damages that were incurred during the crash. If the cost of the repairs exceeds the value of the car, they should pay you the cash value the car had one second before the crash. The insurance company determines the value of the car and it might not always be fair. 

    Medical Bills 

    An insurance company should pay their client’s percentage of your accident-related medical bills. This includes doctor visits, surgery, and medical treatment, as well as prescription medication. The insurer may try to claim that you had pre-existing conditions before the accident. Your previous medical records may be helpful in this case.

    Time off of Work

    You will want to have your employer document any time that you have missed off of work. The insurance company should compensate you for lost wages. You may also be able to get funds for any personal assistance you have needed due to your injuries.

    Pain and Suffering

    In cases of severe injuries, you may be compensated for pain and suffering. There is no set protocol for this kind of compensation. However, some insurance companies use a multiplier method which involves determining an injured party’s level of pain on a scale from 1 to 10 and multiplying it by the dollar amount of their medical bills. For example, if your level of pain was a 2 and your medical bills totaled $2,000, you would get $4000 for pain and suffering.

    If you have been injured in an accident, it is very important to retain the assistance of a professional personal injury attorney. A lawyer will know how to negotiate with an insurance adjuster to get you the money you need to get back on the road. Click here for more information.

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
