If you were injured or lost a loved one in a car accident, we can help you seek fair and just compensation by bringing a personal injury claim.

How Much Is Your Car Accident Claim Worth?

Because every case is different, it’s impossible to say with certainty how much your car accident claim is worth without assessing the various unique factors involved. That being said, most injured car accident victims are able to seek compensation to cover certain “damages,” or losses they suffered as a result of the accident.

You may be able to seek compensation for the following damages:

• All medical expenses, including:
  • Ambulance fees
  • Emergency room/hospital fees
  • Initial and ongoing treatment
  • Rehabilitation (physical and/or cognitive)
  • Medical equipment (wheelchairs, walkers, etc.)
  • Medications
• Modifications to your home to accommodate a disability
• Lost wages/income, including future earnings
• Lost or reduced earning ability (disability)
• Pain and suffering, including emotional distress
• Disfigurement
• Inconvenience
• Cost of vehicle/property repairs

In some cases, such as if you are hit by a drunk driver, you may be able to also pursue punitive damages, which are typically reserved for cases involving egregious negligence.

Why You Need an Attorney

If you are hit by another driver who was acting carelessly or recklessly, you may believe that it will be easy to recover compensation from his or her insurance company. However, insurance companies are businesses and, like any business, their primary goal is to limit their costs—something they will often attempt to do by devaluing or outright denying rightful claims.

Remember: the insurance adjuster from the liable party’s insurance company is not on your side. We strongly recommend that you refrain from speaking to any adjusters from the other person’s insurance company, as you may accidentally say something that could be construed as you admitting fault for the accident.

It’s best to work with an experienced car accident attorney who understands the processes involved and who knows how to fight for the maximum compensation you are owed. At Rancaño & Rancaño, APLC, we are committed to leveling the playing field for injured victims. Our Modesto car accident lawyers can guide you through the entire process, handling all paperwork, negotiations, and, if necessary, trial preparations on your behalf.
