Damages You Could Recover for Your Car Accident Injuries
Your damages should reflect everything you have lost—and will likely lose in the future—because of the other party’s failure to yield. This often includes:
- Pain and suffering, including both physical and emotional distress caused by the crash
- Reduced quality of life, for any lost independence or lost ability to perform daily living tasks (e.g., getting dressed or cleaning the house)
- Medical expenses, including the cost of all treatments that your doctor says are necessary to help you recover and/or manage symptoms
- Property damage, including the cost of renting a car and fixing your own vehicle
- Loss of income/earning capacity, for any short- or long-term impact your injuries have on your ability to work

When Can You Get Damages for a Failure to Yield Collision?
You can file a claim or lawsuit against the at-fault driver by proving that their negligence—that is, their failure to yield when they should have—caused your accident.
Using Dresden Drive as an example, here are some hypothetical cases where the accident victim could take legal action:
- A driver merges onto Peachtree Road without slowing down at the yield sign, cutting off oncoming drivers and causing a crash.
- At the intersection at Dresden/Apple Valley Road, a driver runs a red light, T-boning a car that had the green light.
- A pedestrian has the right of way and begins to cross Dresden Drive at a crosswalk. A motor vehicle does not stop for them and hits the pedestrian.
Bear in mind that, in most cases, you only have two years to file a lawsuit. Do not wait: call Bader Law today. We charge no attorneys’ fees until you have recovered damages.
Are Drivers Always Responsible for Failing to Yield?
In most cases, yes, the driver who hit you was negligent when they failed to yield. Speeding, distracted driving (e.g., texting and driving), and drowsy driving can all cause a driver to obstruct someone else’s right of way.
There are a few cases, however, where someone else’s negligence might cause the accident or make the situation worse. For example:
- The other driver was having braking issues and took their car to the mechanic. The mechanic failed to competently address the issue, and the driver’s brakes gave out when they tried to yield at a stop sign.
- There is a flaw with the airbags in your car. The manufacturer knew about this issue but did not recall the airbags, which failed to deploy and worsened your injuries.
This uncertainty is one of the reasons why it is so important to carefully investigate every single case. Even when the accident’s cause seems straightforward, there may be additional liable parties who owe you compensation.
Our personal injury lawyers can determine exactly how your accident happened and how to pursue fair damages.

What to Do After a Car Accident
Certain actions are essential, while others are helpful for your case but should only be taken if they do not put your health at risk.
Essential actions include:
- Calling 911 so the operator can send whatever help you need
- Filing a police report, which we can then request a copy of to support your legal action
- Seeing a doctor so you can make sure all of your injuries are properly diagnosed and strengthen your legal case with official medical records
- Watching what you say to the insurance adjuster, who will look for any excuse to deny your claim or reduce your final payout
Other helpful actions include:
- Collecting evidence at the scene, such as witness contact information and photos of your injuries, the roadway (especially any stop or yield signs), and your vehicle
- Getting the driver’s information, including their name and insurance information
We also recommend that you speak with one of our personal injury attorneys as soon as possible. Tell Bader Law everything you did and did not do after the crash so we know where your case currently stands and what our first actions should be.
