A car accident in New York City can be an overwhelming experience in your life. There are severe injuries and property damage caused by a negligent driver that can flip your life upside down. You want to ensure everything is taken care of soon after your crash. However, achieving peace of mind can be a nightmare after an accident, especially when dealing with New York’s complex insurance and personal injury liability laws. The first thing you will naturally think of is how much I will get in compensation. Unfortunately, it is not that simple. Each car accident is unique, and the dollar amount will fluctuate based on the circumstances of the case. The severity of your injuries plays a powerful role in how much compensation you will receive. Minor scrapes and bruises will not get nearly the same compensation as a broken limb or a substantial loss. The court looks at the evidence of your injuries and any other elements tied to the accident. The court will set your compensation based on what medical treatment, level of pain, time losses, just to name a few. An important item the courts will look at is the driver's actions in determining compensation. If their actions are found grossly negligent or reckless the court is most likely going to grant you additional compensation or punitive damages. It is also important to note that New York has very specific insurance laws that can muddy up your compensation amount after an auto accident.
