Damages and Losses After a Personal Injury<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Under tort law, when a person is a victim of a civil wrong-doing, a court or jury may award damages to compensate them for their injuries and losses. Damages vary, but commonly include lost wages, medical expenses, hospital bills, pain and suffering, mental anguish, prolonged rehabilitation, loss of consortium, and various other economic and non-economic losses. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Economic damages are for tangible financial losses, like bills and lost wages, while non-economic damages might include pain and suffering, mental anguish or illness (i.e. depression, anxiety, etc.), loss of companionship (i.e., wrongful death, brain damage to loved one, paralysis of loved one that changes or prohibits the relationship, etc.), long-term medical care or medication dependencies, diminished quality of life, permanent disabilities, loss of ability to work, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assessing the amount of damages is often a difficult\nand complex process since many variables influence the final determination. A\ncourt or jury must consider the losses or injuries of a victim\u2019s person,\nproperty, and overall quality of life. Personal injury cases generally address\nthree primary issues that ultimately determine what the fair and full payment\nwould be for a victim\u2019s injuries, which are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2776 LIABILITY <\/strong>\u2013 Establishing the degree of negligence of another person or entity;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2777 DAMAGES <\/strong>\u2013 The amount of compensation that fairly acknowledges compensates for and covers a person\u2019s injuries;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2778 SOURCE OF COLLECTIONS<\/strong> \u2013 Insurance or additional assets to cover the award of damages;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paying for a Lawyer<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

If you have asked yourself if you can afford an accident lawyer,\nthe answer is, \u201cyes!\u201d Anyone can afford a personal injury attorney if they have\na valid claim and case. They can even have their claim examined by a licensed\nattorney for free, to determine if they have a valid claim. You see, most\npersonal injury law firms do not collect attorney fees unless they recover a\nsettlement for you. This is why they offer free initial consultations. The\nconsultation gives them an opportunity to discuss a client\u2019s case without\nobligating them or you to pay anything out of pocket. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the consultation, a personal injury lawyer will evaluate\nthe client\u2019s claim to determine if the case is strong enough to pursue. If they\nbelieve their client is entitled to compensation, they will take on their case\nand work toward obtaining a full and fair settlement for their damages. The\nmore a lawyer can recover for you, the more they get paid, which motivates them\nto work even harder on clients\u2019 cases. A personal injury attorney makes it easy\nfor victims to pursue an accident claim or lawsuit, without risking thousands\nof dollars of their own money and the chance they may lose their case.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
