How Much Money Can I Get from this car accident?

I was in a car accident tonight (other guys fault) he totaled my friends car and he broke my hand in 3 spots and bruised my back and shoulder blades.

Answer #1

No way to tell exactly. You have to go to sue the other person. In court, the Judge and the Jury would most likely side with you. You may get no reward↔extensive reward. It all comes down to what State and/or the exact situation. (The complaint and the car accident might be two different trials)

Answer #2

The best thing you can probably do is make the other guy pay for all damages done to you, and probably make his insurance (if any) pay for most of the car damages.

Answer #3

Did you file a police report? You need to contact your ( or your friends since it was his car) insurance to tell them what happened and give them his details, they will look after valuing the damage on your car and contacting his insurance to sort out insurance money. You will be waiting a few weeks, but if it truly was the other guys fault you won’t need to pay any excess or lose you no claim bonus and you will receive a check to the value the car was insured. About your physical injuries, third party covers all costs involved. You will need to complete an online crash report with the dpi. When you have finished it you will get a claim number. You just need to give this number at any doctors appointments or physio treatments you need to attend and all the costs will be covered. This is how it works in Australia at least. I have just been through all this and it is such a hassle! Hope you recover.

“….broke my hand in 3 spots and bruised my back and shoulder blades” and you can still sit in front of a pc? hmmm.

Answer #5

Even though it was the other guys fault, unless he was impaired, they’re more likely to side with him than with you because you and your friend are young drivers. Sad how it is, but that’s the most likely scenario. Goat11’s answer is better.

Answer #6

Samantha has a point….If your hand is broke it three spots, shouldn’t you be at the hospital, or doctor?

Answer #7

Honestly i’ve had a trashed hand before and been fine on the computer, if your using a phone it’s significantly more easy as well because you really only need one hand anyways.

Answer #8

I am using a phone and i WAS at the hospital

Answer #9

I can understand if it was just a hurt hand, finger, or sprained wrist…but broken in 3 places?

Answer #10

Oh, so you went to the hospital and was treated?

Answer #11

I went to the hospital after it happebed and they wrapped it and im getting a cast

Answer #12

Oh..okay.

Answer #13

Well unless I’m a big pu-ssy. I sprained my 2 fingers playing paintball and couldn’t even pick up a can of drink let alone type.

Answer #14

Well i guess thats the difference between me and you

Answer #15

LOLLL. I still think you are having us on. Broke it in three places and you can still type and sit in front of a pc. Oh well, one cannot know if it is true or not but I going to think maybe it did happen as it is unusual for a guy to milk sympathy but then again. :-P

Answer #16

Seriously ive said i am NOT NOT NOT on a computer im on a PHONE ive said it like 4 times. And i dont need or want your guys sympathy so you got that right
