You can recover economic damages, which include losses with actual dollar amounts, such as medical expenses, property damage, lost earnings, lost earning ability, and others. You can also receive non-economic damages, which include losses that don’t have actual dollar amounts, like pain and suffering, mental trauma, emotional distress, reduced quality of life, etc.
What If The At-Fault Party is Blaming Me for The Accident?
To recover compensation from the other party, your share of fault for the accident must be less than 50%, or you risk not getting anything at all.
