Caring for injuries after a slip and fall incident, car wreck, or surgery complications demands your time, money, and attention to heal and recover properly. Post-accident, you will likely deal with costly medical bills, medical treatment and rehabilitation, additional surgeries, and more.
The additional debt can be stressful and burdensome, so naturally, one of the first questions our injury lawyers get is, “how much is my personal injury case worth?”
In taking on any personal injury case, we aim to be as transparent as possible with clients starting with the potential value of their claim. Most personal injury damages are classified as “compensatory” to cover what was lost during an accident or injury.
We review possible compensatory damages by checking the cost of your medical treatment, current and future income, and property loss. The other side of the equation is considered non-economic damages, which are harder to quantify. However, they relate to your pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment, and loss of consortium.
With outwardly careless or reckless behavior, our personal injury attorneys will also seek punitive damages on your behalf, which are additional dollars awarded for egregious acts.
