Establishing Your Damages in Your Avalon, Pennsylvania Car Accident Case
You may already have a list of personal injury damages you want to claim through an insurance claim or a lawsuit. Your list may be long, with many physical, mental, emotional, and financial damages. However, your list may not be complete. There may be many damages you don’t know you can claim.
A lawyer from our firm can help you establish what all of your claimable, compensable damages are so you can claim them from the insurer. Your lawyer can also help you establish the validity and value of your damages with the insurer by showing them evidence of your damages and a professional valuation of them. Your lawyer can even provide this professional valuation.
Your claimable, compensable damages may include:
- The bill for your car repairs or your replacement vehicle
- Bills for other property damaged or destroyed in the accident
- The bills for your emergency, hospital, and/or clinic treatment
- Bills for physical therapy and other therapies
- Any loss in your ability to earn an income

Establishing your damages can be complicated, but it may not be nearly as complicated as proving liability for your damages. First, your lawyer will have to determine whether the at-fault party is another driver, a company, or another party. For example, if the driver that hit you is a rideshare driver, your lawyer will have to determine whether that driver or the driver’s rideshare company is at fault.
Your Avalon car accident lawyer will also have to show how the at-fault party was negligent. For instance, a rideshare company may have failed to contract a competent driver. Your lawyer will seek out evidence of negligence, such as:
- A bystander’s cell phone photos of the accident scene
- A witness’s statement about the accident
- Data from a speed trap
- Information from an event data recorder or black box
- Footage from a traffic camera
- The driver’s breathalyzer test
- A rideshare company’s documentation on screening drivers
- A truck driver’s list of daily responsibilities
- An expert witness’s testimony
Proving Negligence
To prove liability completely, your lawyer will have to prove the other party was actually negligent. Evidence won’t be enough to prove negligence.
Your lawyer will have to show how:
- The other party owed you a duty of care, or a responsibility to act carefully
- The other party violated their duty of care, or acted irresponsibly
- The other party’s actions caused the car accident
- Injuries and other damages were suffered in the accident

You can leave negotiations to your lawyer. If you do, you won’t have to worry about communicating with the insurance company at all or dealing with any of their tricks and tactics. Your lawyer will deal with the insurer by arguing your damages are valid and valued correctly, and by referring the insurer to the evidence in your case.
If necessary, your lawyer can threaten to sue the insurer and take your case to court. In court, your lawyer can pursue a verdict from a jury instead.
However, your lawyer will do everything they can to resolve your case out of court. If the insurer is cooperative, your case should resolve with a fair settlement. Your lawyer won’t accept a settlement before speaking with you about it.
You need an attorney with the experience and dedication to give your case the care it deserves.
