In a personal injury case, what kinds of damages are eligible for recovery?
Depending on their individual circumstances, personal injury victims may be entitled to receive various types of compensation. When we are chosen to represent your personal injury claim, we will work diligently to ensure that the full value of your claim is accurately calculated. Our goal is to leave no dollar unclaimed.
In general, the following types of damages may be awarded:
- Medical expenses: The responsible party should cover all costs related to your medical treatment, including past, present, and future treatments. This includes expenses such as emergency room care, hospitalization, rehabilitation, and prescription medications.
- Loss of wages: If your injury caused you to miss work for weeks, months, or even years, the liable party can be held accountable for the wages you were unable to earn. Additionally, if your injury has reduced your future earning capacity, the value of your claim can be increased.
- Disfigurement/permanent disability: Suffering a disability or disfigurement can result in unexpected costs that should be covered through a successful claim. For example, if you require modifications to your home, such as a wheelchair ramp, the cost of these modifications can be added to the value of your claim.
- Loss of life enjoyment: The extent of your injuries and losses may impact your ability to enjoy life. Working with a psychotherapist can help our lawyers understand the impact on your happiness, which can be factored into the value of your claim.
- Pain and suffering: Emotional pain, physical suffering, and mental trauma can be considered non-economic damages in a personal injury claim. The value of these damages is often calculated by multiplying the total of your economic damages (excluding punitive damages) by a factor that represents the extent of your suffering.
- Loss of companionship: In wrongful death claims, it is possible to seek compensation for the loss of companionship and support provided by the deceased loved one. We can collaborate with grief counselors to assess the emotional harm you have suffered due to the loss and determine a fair amount of compensation.
Is it possible for a victim to be awarded punitive damages for experiencing a criminal act?
Victims of particularly offensive criminal actions may be eligible for punitive damages, which are meant to punish and reform the wrongdoer rather than compensate for losses. The goal is to deter the offender from repeating the same actions. Please be aware that punitive damages are rare, and we will inform you if they are an option in your case.
