Fighting for the Compensation You Deserve

One moment you are living your life, and in an instant, an accident can happen that can turn it upside down. Aside from the immense pain and emotional stress that you must endure as an injury victim, you also have to deal with expensive medical bills, lost wages, and a potential lifetime of disability. If you or a loved one has been seriously injured as a result of someone else’s careless, reckless, or negligent behavior, you should not be stuck paying the physical, mental, and financial toll alone.

When Can You File a Personal Injury Claim?

Whenever you have been injured as a result of another person’s negligence or reckless actions, the law allows you to file a personal injury claim to recover compensation for your damages. “Damages” is a catch-all term that includes medical bills, lost wages, disability, pain and suffering, property damage, and other economic and non-economic losses.

In order to present a successful claim, you (as claimant or “plaintiff”) must prove the following:

  • The party you are bringing the claim against (the “defendant”) had a legal responsibility to exercise caution and prevent injury, also known as a duty of care
  • The defendant failed to uphold duty of care either via negligence, recklessness, or poor judgment
  • You suffered an injury as a result of the defendant’s actions, resulting in economic or non-economic damages

Some of the common personal injury cases I’ve handled include: 

How is Personal Injury Compensation Awarded?

The main purpose of filing a personal injury claim is to recover financial compensation for damages you suffered as a result of an injury. What you don’t want to do after an injury is deal with the at-fault individual or party directly or indirectly through their insurance company. That’s because their job is to absolve themselves of responsibility or pay you as little as possible. This is why it is wise to immediately get in touch with an accomplished personal injury attorney.

Personal injury compensation is awarded monetarily. Determining how much you are awarded depended on several factors such as the severity of your injury, your medical expenses, the circumstances surrounding your accident, and more.

You can be awarded compensation in the following ways:

  • Medical bills and recovery costs: When you are seriously injured, you need medical attention, which can very quickly add up. As a result, you can recover compensation to cover the cost of any medical procedures you had to endure such as surgeries, hospitalizations, physical therapy and rehabilitation, medication, travel costs, and more. By keeping a detailed record of the expenses incurred, you can be fairly compensated for the costs.
  • Lost wages from missed work: It can certainly be hard to pay for those medical expenses for your own living situation if you are physically unable to work. If the injuries are severe enough, you may lose your job entirely. Future employment also is impacted if you end up with a disability, adding to your financial hardship.
  • Pain and suffering: It may be hard to measure this aspect of compensation, but this can be a significant factor in recovering sizable compensation. Depending on the nature of your injuries, you can pursue compensation for any physical and mental anguish you may have to endure for the rest of your life.
  • Punitive damages: Also known as exemplary damages, this method of compensation is to punish the defendant and send a message that their conduct is unacceptable and shouldn’t ever be repeated. While this category of compensation is tough to be awarded, our tenacious attorneys can work to recover such damages.

Know Your Rights Following an Accident

Personal injuries can be serious and life altering, so it is imperative that you get in touch with an attorney as soon as possible following an injury. While your focus should be on getting better, you shouldn’t let the responsible party off the hook.
