Introduction

When people think about the cost of a car accident, they usually picture repair bills or hospital expenses. But the reality is, crashes often come with hidden costs that add up quickly — both financially and emotionally.

At CAVR (Constitutional Advocates for Victims’ Rights), we believe victims deserve to know the full picture so they can prepare and access resources that ease the burden.


The Obvious Costs

  • Vehicle repairs or replacement.

  • Immediate medical bills.

  • Emergency transportation, like ambulance rides.

These are stressful enough, but they’re only part of the impact.


The Hidden Costs Victims Face

  • Lost wages: missed days or reduced hours at work.

  • Therapy or long-term treatment: physical and emotional care.

  • Childcare or household help if the victim can’t manage daily tasks.

  • Transportation challenges: rideshares, rentals, or public transit.

  • Emotional toll: anxiety, stress, and loss of independence.

These costs are rarely discussed, but they can drain families just as much as the initial bills.


Why These Costs Add Up

Crashes don’t just disrupt a single moment — they ripple into everyday life. Victims often find themselves struggling to keep up, even months after the accident.


How to Prepare and Protect Yourself

  • Keep receipts and records of all accident-related expenses.

  • Look into community and nonprofit programs that cover hidden costs.

  • Ask about financial assistance options for accident victims.


How CAVR Can Help

We connect victims with resources that cover both the obvious and the hidden costs of an accident. From medical referrals to financial support networks, our mission is to make sure victims don’t face these challenges alone.


Closing

A car accident impacts more than your car or your body — it affects your whole life. But with the right resources, you don’t have to carry the hidden costs alone.
