Can I claim compensation for the trauma and loss after a car accident and miscarriage?

I was involved in a car accident and suffered a miscarriage. I was 11/12 weeks pregnant and our case is going to court.

The driver had admitted fault, can I claim compensation for the trauma and loss?

Of course, compensation can be requested.

But if the car of the person responsible for the accident was insured by an insurance company, it is very important that the case is filed against the insurance company and the driver.

Dear,

We are very sorry for your loss.

Yes, you can claim compensation.

A claimant may seek moral damages to compensate for any non-financial loss, such as suffering a miscarriage, and for injury damages related to the accident, such as any broken bones, minor or major injuries, and so on.

Miscarriage may or may not fall under both categories, depending on the medical reports and the court's view.

Damages in general may include direct damages, such as medical expenses, consequential damages, and moral damages.

The amount you may claim or be awarded will vary as it does on a case-to-case basis and will depend on multiple different factors.

Regards.
