What Damages Apply in a Personal Injury Case?

In a personal injury lawsuit, you are entitled to compensation for all medical bills, including surgery, rehab, medical equipment, and medications, as well as future medical care. You can recover lost wages if you miss work and future earnings if you can no longer work or your earning capacity is diminished. You are also entitled to damages for disfigurement, permanent disability, and the pain and suffering you endured.

Calculating specific damages depends on a number of factors, including the nature of the accident, the degree of fault, and the severity of the injuries you have suffered.

In a wrongful death lawsuit, the surviving family members can seek compensation for loss of the person’s income, loss of their companionship and support, loss of consortium (marital relations), and loss of household services.

How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Lawyer?

We take cases on a contingency fee, which means there is no upfront cost to you and you owe no attorney fees unless we recover compensation on your behalf. Our fees are a set percentage of the settlement or jury award, so we have the incentive to maximize your recovery.

How Do I Know If I Have a Case?

Our attorneys can look at the facts of your case to determine if you have a legally valid claim and to identify all parties who may be liable. We can also advise on how soon you must act to preserve your rights and whether you may be entitled to financial benefits before your lawsuit is resolved. This case evaluation is provided at no charge, so it costs you nothing to find out where you stand.

What Can I Do to Help My Personal Injury Case?

1. Seek medical attention promptly, and follow up with treatment. Medical documentation is critical to proving damages.

2. Don’t sign anything or give a statement to an insurance adjuster before talking to an attorney.

3. Don’t discuss your accident or injuries with anyone, especially on social media.

4. If possible, get photo or video evidence of your injuries, the vehicles, the location, etc.

5. If possible, get contact information from witnesses.
