Most people are aware that they will have to pay for medical treatment, but they are not aware of all of the additional expenditures that come with being injured in an auto accident, or how high those costs will be. If you were injured in a car accident, here are four unanticipated costs of your injuries that you may face and claim damages for:
Hospital Transportation
The cost of your trip will vary depending on the services offered and how far you are from the hospital or emergency department. Many injured car accident victims either don’t consider this cost or assume that it will be paid by insurance, but you may be responsible for part or all of it.
Towing
You will have to pay to have your car transported to a repair shop or another location if it was wrecked or substantially damaged in a car accident. This can cost anywhere from $100 to $300 depending on the business you pick, the status of your vehicle, and the distance of the tow.
Car Rental
If your car is damaged and rendered undriveable as a result of the accident, you will likely have to pay for a rental car until your car is either repaired or replaced.
Continuing Chiropractic and Physical Therapy Treatment
One of the most typical costs associated with car accidents is the need for chiropractic care or physical therapy for back and neck injuries. However, many individuals are unaware of how expensive this type of treatment is until they receive a bill.
Insurance companies profit the most when they pay out as little as possible to accident victims. If you’ve been injured and have incurred these expenditures, but the accident wasn’t your fault, contact a Florida car accident attorney to help you in obtaining the most compensation for your injuries.
