Being pregnant is a beautiful time, but a car accident can turn joy into worry. If you’ve been in a car accident while pregnant, you’re not alone. This situation can be especially stressful, with concerns for both yourself and your unborn baby.
Can You Sue for Pregnancy Complications After a Car Accident?
Yes, in many cases, you can sue for pregnancy complications after a car accident. Car accidents can cause a variety of injuries to pregnant women, including:
- Placental abruption: This is a serious condition where the placenta separates from the uterine wall too early.
- Preterm labor: A car accident can trigger premature birth, which can lead to health problems for your baby.
- Miscarriage: While not always the case, a car accident can increase the risk of miscarriage.
If your doctor can establish that your car accident caused your pregnancy complications, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Long-term care for your child (if your complications resulted in permanent disability)
