What Types of Compensation May Be Available After a Crash in Murfreesboro

After a traffic collision that results in injuries, victims may be entitled to pursue compensation for a range of losses caused by the crash. The specific types of compensation available depend on the severity of the injuries and how the accident has affected the injured person’s life.

Medical-related compensation may cover emergency care, ambulance transportation, hospital stays, surgeries, diagnostic testing, prescription medications, follow-up appointments, and ongoing rehabilitation or physical therapy. Future medical expenses may also be considered if injuries require long-term treatment.

When injuries interfere with a person’s ability to work, compensation may include lost wages, reduced earning capacity, or loss of future income. This applies not only to time missed immediately after the crash, but also to situations where injuries cause lasting limitations.

Victims may also seek compensation for non-economic damages such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, mental anguish, and the loss of enjoyment of life. These damages recognize the physical discomfort and emotional toll injuries can have beyond measurable financial costs.

In cases involving serious or permanent injuries, additional compensation may be available for long-term disability, disfigurement, or the need for in-home care and assistance. Property damage, including repair or replacement of vehicles and personal belongings, may also be part of a claim.

Because Tennessee law sets deadlines for filing injury-related claims, acting quickly is important. Consulting with a trustworthy Murfreesboro auto accident lawyer can help ensure that all potential categories of compensation are identified and properly pursued under state law.
