Recently a potential client in Los Angeles asked us if they could sue for bodily harm after their car accident due to a headache. They had already spoken to the other party’s insurance company who offered to cover everything except the rental car. Their headache lasted for about 24 hours after the car accident.
Generally speaking, a headache that goes away in a day or so does not merit a claim. Medical expenses, lost earnings, lost earnings ability, pain and suffering, and loss of companionship are some of the things which may be pursued.
However, some headaches last much longer than 24 hours.
