Do you get money when are in a car accident?

It depends on the circumstances of the car accident. If you were not at fault, you may be able to collect damages from the other driver's insurance company. Damages may include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage.

However, if you were partially or fully at fault, you may not be able to collect any damages. Some states have comparative negligence laws, which means that your damages may be reduced by the percentage that you were at fault. Other states have contributory negligence laws, which means that you cannot collect any damages if you were even slightly at fault.

If you were in a car accident, you should contact a personal injury attorney to discuss your legal rights.
