The Social Security system is in place to help us through difficult times. Unfortunately, there are some instances in which the system makes our lives even more difficult than they need to be. The day I received the denial letter for my claim, I wasn't sure what I was going to do. After talking with a few friends, I contacted a lawyer. That was the best decision I had ever made. Even with the professional assistance, getting the denial overturned and getting the money that I was owed took several months. I have kept a clear journal of my experience and loaded it with information that can help others get through what can be an impossible time.

Car Accident Settlements: Four Financial Impacts When Traveling for a Camping Trip
Alexis Garcia
Going on a camping trip is a great adventure and a memorable way to experience nature. As you travel to your camping destination, you may find your trip completely changed if you are involved in a car accident. Not only can your vehicle get destroyed, but you may suffer from injuries related to the accident. Along with seeking compensation for the car accident injuries, there are four other financial factors that can impact a possible settlement case. A car accident attorney can help you receive a settlement for these additional issues. Browse through each one and see how it may apply to your case.
1. Camping Gear
As you head toward your camping trip, you will likely be transporting a lot of different gear. When your vehicle is involved in an accident, these items could also be damaged. For example, you may be towing a small RV on the back of the vehicle. If the RV is damaged, the person that caused the accident could be held liable for it.
A number of other pieces of camping gear may be transported and damaged on the vehicle. You may use the roof of your car to transport bicycles, canoes, or equipment, like tents. If these items are damaged, the person responsible for the accident may be held liable for the replacement costs. The value of each item can be calculated and used to create a settlement total.
2. Camping Reservations
Before arriving at the campground, you likely had reservations for a specific campsite. If you are unable to go camping after the accident, you may lose out on your deposit or the full price paid for the campsite. If this is the case, then you can seek reimbursement through your personal injury settlement case. Along with the actual camping reservations, you may have purchased parking passes to national parks or other locations that feature annual memberships. If you are unable to use that pass in the future, an attorney can help you seek compensation for the lost amount of money.
3. Activity Reservations
Along with the campsite, you may have had other things booked for the camping trip, including outdoor adventures like zip-lining, boating trips, or group tours through nature areas. Adding up the costs of these activities can have a big impact on your settlement case.
Along with the cost of the activity itself, you may receive compensation for any types of extras you purchased for the adventures. For example, you may have purchase live fishing bait for a scheduled fishing trip near the campsite. After a certain amount of time, that bait will die and be wasted. Instead of dealing with the financial loss and waste, you can add these costs to your settlement case.
4. Camping Accessibility Items
One of the biggest impacts your car accident can have is on your daily quality of life. You may wish to return to camping in the near future, but your car accident injuries may prevent that from happening. Instead of giving up your passion for camping, you may decide to purchase a number of accessibility products that can help you while camping. Pop-up tents, adaptive fishing equipment, and other items may all be purchased for your camping needs. A number of adaptive tools like knives and fire accessories may also be needed to set up and use your variety of camping supplies.
If this is the case, then an attorney can include the costs of these items within your settlement case. Without the accident you wouldn't have needed these items, and a lawyer can help prove this and seek compensation from the liable party.
Make a list of the various financial impacts of your accident and contact an attorney to help build your case. This can make a huge difference in your final settlement, no matter how mundane you think the various items are. Find an attorney at a firm like Dunnigan & Messier P.C. to get started.
