Idk, my brother got in a car wreck and my mom said if he had peed or pooped himself, he might have gotten a check for humiliation.

If there was a bodily injury claim, then maybe it could be included under pain and suffering. But if it was just from fear or shock without injury, probably not.

Wtf?
I’ve handled claims for over 25 years, including serious injuries, and I’ve never seen a situation where something like this adds value to a claim. Emergency responders and hospital staff aren’t fazed by such scenarios. I’d question how this would add to a claim, but that’s just my take.
@Cale
If I had an accident that totaled my car and caused airbag deployment, a lawyer might argue that the trauma led to involuntary bodily functions. Not for minor damage, but in severe cases, it could be presented as part of the trauma claim.

Haha, 1 year later, the term ‘loaf’ still cracks me up.
Maybe, if tied to an injury claim. The at-fault carrier might add extra compensation to general damages.
Possibly a small amount for lost wages if you needed time to go home and change, or cleaning costs if the clothing required special care. But it wouldn’t be thousands.
