You have the right to have your medical bills paid and your wage loss reimbursed. This comes from no-fault coverage on your car. You also have the right to make a claim against the driver who caused the accident. In that claim, you may recover damages (money) for pain, suffering, disability, disfigurement, emotional distress, loss of earning capacity and other losses that may have occurred. The money for these losses is paid by the other person’s insurance company.
You also have the right to get your car fixed, or, if it’s totaled, get the value of the car as it was just before the accident. This is called a property damage claim. It can be made against your company if you have what’s known as “comprehensive” coverage. You may also have the right to collect that damage from the other person’s insurance company.
