Compensation after a car accident may come in different forms such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pain and suffering<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Medical bills<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lost wages<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Loss of consortium<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Continuing medical treatment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myphillylawyer.com\/yue\/practice-areas\/vehicle-accidents\/insurance\/guide-to-pennsylvania-auto-insurance\/\">Insurance policies<\/a> may provide benefits to cover the damages and injuries of drivers in a car accident. Collision coverage pays for the damage to a driver\u2019s own vehicle due to the accident. Extraordinary medical benefits cover damages for medical and rehabilitation costs in severe cases where the bills are over $100,000. Lost wages may be compensated through the insured\u2019s income loss coverage, which pays a portion of a wage when car accident keeps the individual from working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Full tort insurance coverage allows the injured driver to sue the at-fault driver for any and all damages incurred. The most severe car accidents can result in death. Insurance policies with funeral benefits specifically cover the funeral expenses of the deceased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Frequently, insurance companies will fight to settle for the lowest possible amount. Never negotiate with insurance adjuster by yourself. Contact an experienced attorney from MyPhillyLawyer to help you. We have years of experience negotiating with insurance companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Other Car Accident FAQs:<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"list-pages-shortcode sibling-pages\"><li class=\"page_item page-item-8822\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myphillylawyer.com\/yue\/practice-areas\/vehicle-accidents\/faqs\/can-i-recover-compensation-even-if-i-am-partially-at-fault-for-the-car-crash\/\">Can I recover compensation even if I am partially at fault for the car crash?<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"page_item page-item-8931\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myphillylawyer.com\/yue\/practice-areas\/vehicle-accidents\/faqs\/how-common-is-back-pain-from-car-accidents\/\">How common is back pain from car accidents?<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"page_item page-item-9010\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myphillylawyer.com\/yue\/practice-areas\/vehicle-accidents\/faqs\/how-long-after-a-car-accident-can-you-experience-pain\/\">How long after a car accident can you experience pain?<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"page_item page-item-8884\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myphillylawyer.com\/yue\/practice-areas\/vehicle-accidents\/faqs\/how-long-after-a-car-accident-can-you-sue-in-pennsylvania\/\">How long after a car accident can you sue in Pennsylvania?<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"page_item page-item-8538\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myphillylawyer.com\/yue\/practice-areas\/vehicle-accidents\/faqs\/how-long-do-i-have-to-file-a-car-accident-suit\/\">How long do I have to file a car accident suit?<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"page_item page-item-8528\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myphillylawyer.com\/yue\/practice-areas\/vehicle-accidents\/faqs\/how-long-do-i-have-to-file-a-claim-after-a-car-accident\/\">How long do I have to file a claim after a car accident?<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"page_item page-item-8888\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myphillylawyer.com\/yue\/practice-areas\/vehicle-accidents\/faqs\/how-long-does-an-insurance-company-have-to-settle-a-claim-in-pennsylvania\/\">How long does an insurance company have to settle a claim in Pennsylvania?<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"page_item page-item-8733\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myphillylawyer.com\/yue\/practice-areas\/vehicle-accidents\/faqs\/how-long-does-it-take-to-settle-a-car-accident-lawsuit\/\">How long does it take to settle a car accident lawsuit?<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"page_item page-item-8890\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myphillylawyer.com\/yue\/practice-areas\/vehicle-accidents\/faqs\/how-much-time-will-it-take-for-me-to-recover-damages-in-my-pennsylvania-car-accident-case\/\">How much time will it take for me to recover damages in my Pennsylvania car accident case?<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"page_item page-item-8832\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myphillylawyer.com\/yue\/practice-areas\/vehicle-accidents\/faqs\/how-should-i-prepare-for-my-first-meeting-with-my-pennsylvania-car-accident-attorney\/\">How should I prepare for my first meeting with my Pennsylvania car accident attorney?<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"page_item page-item-8993\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myphillylawyer.com\/yue\/practice-areas\/vehicle-accidents\/faqs\/i-got-into-a-car-accident-and-hit-my-head-what-should-i-do\/\">I got into a car accident and hit my head; what should I do?<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"page_item page-item-8360\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myphillylawyer.com\/yue\/practice-areas\/vehicle-accidents\/faqs\/i-was-in-a-car-accident-my-injuries-are-minor-should-i-see-a-doctor\/\">I was in a car accident; my injuries are minor.
