How Much Compensation Can You Get?
The amount of compensation you can seek in a personal injury case varies from case to case. Our team works to gather information to determine what is the most compensation for your injuries. Figuring out how much your bills and other compensation is difficult, usually treatment is ongoing and bills continue to increase. Future medical care can be very expensive and when appropriate, we use life care planners to help estimate what future expenses you may have.
To determine fair compensation, a our personal injury lawyer will look at:
Medical Expenses
We look at what kind of medical expenses you had as a result of your injuries. Medical expenses can add up quickly after an unexpected accident occurs.
Property Damage
Was any of your property damaged during the accident? This could be anything from your home to your vehicle. Any property that was damaged should be looked at when determining compensation.
Pain and Suffering
Fair compensation for pain and suffering can be difficult to determine. We will work with you to see how your injuries affected your life to determine a value for this intangible loss.
Loss of Income
Did you miss work due to your injuries? You could be compensated for the time you missed from work to treat your injuries.
Decrease in Salary
If you had severe injuries, it might affect your ability to work long-term. If you had to switch careers or decrease your work hours, you could be compensated for the difference in salary.
Future Medical Expenses
We may not know what future medical expenses you may have. However, potential medical expenses should be accounted for and we have experts to create a care plan. This could include possible surgeries or rehabilitation.
