There are no guarantees. The probability of you recovering money by taking legal action, and the amount of money you might have the right to recover, depends on the specific circumstances of your Atlantic City drunk driving accident and injuries, your auto insurance coverage (if any), and the financial resources of the party that owes you damages.
However, in general victims of drunk driving accidents can often seek compensation from liable parties to pay for:
- Past and future medical expenses not covered by PIP insurance related to caring for your injuries, such as the costs of emergency care, hospitalization, long-term care stays, doctor appointments, surgery, therapy, and medication.
- Past and future non-medical expenses related to living with your injuries, such as the cost of hiring someone to help out with daily activities while you recover;
- Past and future lost income owing to your temporary or permanent inability to work because of your injuries;
- Your pain and suffering associated with your drunk driving accident injuries;
- The harm done to your quality of life and relationships by your injuries; and
- In some cases, punitive damages that aim to punish the act of drunk driving and any other extreme or outrageous conduct that led to the accident and your injuries.
Every Atlantic City drunk driving case is different.
