A crash happens in a matter of seconds, but the effects may linger for a lifetime. The physical injuries and emotional effects can drastically affect various aspects of your life and lower your quality of life.
Everyday activities can become difficult or impossible after a crash. This could limit your ability to engage in hobbies and social activities or even do simple household chores without assistance. This loss of independence can be frustrating and demoralizing, affecting your overall well-being.
The financial impact
Your injuries could affect your ability to earn a living or even diminish your earning capacity, making it challenging to provide for yourself and your family. Beyond lost wages, the injuries you suffered could derail your career. The financial strain can make life unbearable.
The psychological impact
The emotional toll can be equally profound. The trauma you experienced from the accident may lead to nightmares, flashbacks and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It can also increase the risk of depression and other mental health issues.
You deserve compensation for this
You are entitled to damages for all the harm and losses you suffered from a car accident, including a lower quality of life. However, quantifying the actual impact of an accident on your life is not as straightforward since there is no specific monetary value to such damages.
You can support your claim for compensation by presenting evidence like medical records, doctors’ reports and even statements from friends and loved ones about how your injuries have affected your life.
Seeking personalized legal guidance after a car accident can help you identify the damages you are entitled to, understand your rights and present a solid claim. It could significantly increase the chances of a favorable settlement.The post When a car accident affects your quality of life first appeared on Martinez & Schill LLP.
