Yes, as long as the check is for property damage only you can accept that check for your car’s value if totaled in the accident, or in the amount necessary to fix your car, without it being a release of your separate claim for injuries, lost wages, and other damages to your person from the wreck. In fact this is how it’s supposed to occur. If you are involved in a car wreck and have injuries two separate cases arise, one for the property damage which includes getting your car fixed or getting the fair market value of the vehicle and the other is for any damages to your person meaning injuries, medical expenses, lost work earnings, and pain and suffering related to your injuries. It is important to get your property damage straightened out as soon as possible so that you can get back on the road and that will not negatively affect your separate injury case.

This includes all initial emergency and subsequent follow-up care that was provided on an inpatient basis while the husband and wife were living together.This is one of many reasons it is so important to speak with a Virginia-based personal injury lawyer if you or a member of your family suffered a serious injury in an accident that was caused by another person or by a company’s negligent actions. Racking up large medical bills following an accident is bad enough. It is even worse to have that financial burden passed on to your loved ones.
