One of the most frequent concerns by victims who were involved in an auto accident is what kind of settlement should they expect. The answer to that all depends on how much they have been injured, whether another driver was at fault and, if so, how much insurance coverage they have.

It is also important to understand that legal fees, if applicable when you file a lawsuit against them will be taken out of the final settlement.  So, it can be hard to determine just how much money you will get if you don't know all of this information.

In addition, you may not get all of your medical expenses back if someone else is responsible for the collision. Because of this, you might end up getting less than you expected. Many people mistakingly believe that their health insurance will pay for their medical treatment. This is a common misconception. This could lead to you paying more for your medical care than you should have because you didn’t have the proper insurance.

Other people may be liable for medical bills.

Depending on who was at fault in the accident, the other driver may be liable for your incurred medical costs.  It will depend on many factors such as, who was at fault and whether or not they have insurance. If they do, their insurance company may cover your medical expenses up to the policy limits. If it is determined that you were partly responsible for the accident, you will share in the costs of your medical costs, which could be taken out of the final settlement.

You may sustain property damage to your vehicle and others.

Motor vehicle accidents often involve two or more people, which means that one party will have to pay for the damages caused by another. There are two main types of insurance that cover motor vehicle accidents.  One is liability coverage which pays for the injuries sustained by in an accident caused to another party.  This covers you if the other driver involved was found negligent under state law.

The other is collision coverage covering property damage which can include broken windows, windshields, dented cars and damaged bumpers. Most states require motorists to carry general automobile insurance to protect against these types of accidents. Some people decide to not file claims with their insurer and instead use their personal policies to collect money from third-party companies, depending on the cost of replacing or repairing damaged property. This could end up being a poor decision, as many insurance companies will offer higher amounts.
