Types of Compensation in Personal Injury Cases

If you sustain a personal injury, you should seek a settlement from your insurance company. However, you should prove that the accident resulted from negligence by another party. And this is why you need the expertise of a personal injury lawyer. You’ll then negotiate the compensation amount depending on the damages incurred.

Check out the types of compensation you could obtain in a personal injury case.

  1. Loss of income 

If an injury affects you so that you can’t continue working, you may deserve compensation for your lost wages. Additionally, an attorney should help you get an amount equivalent to your lost income. You will be compensated to cover your entire future earnings if the injury renders you incapable of ever working again. Moreover, if f you lose your life n the accident, surviving family members will be entitled to compensation. They will receive an amount similar to your wages.

  1. Emotional distress 

A severe injury can adversely affect your physical and emotional well being. Horrifying accidents may cause emotional distress in the form of anxiety, flashbacks, nightmares, and post-traumatic disorder. All these can qualify you for compensation.

However, emotional distress is subjective, and you need a skilled attorney to prove your case. There are multiple lawyers available, but most clients seek help from The Echavarria Law Firm. The attorneys will assist in your personal injury case to improve the likelihood of a favorable outcome.

  1. Medical expenses 

Medical expenses are the primary costs you incur after suffering personal injuries. Remember that you deserve the best treatment, which can be expensive. Therefore, you are entitled to compensation for those expenses incurred. Your attorney will sue the medical reports to negotiate the right settlement for your type of injuries.

  1. Pain and suffering 

Although pain and suffering are subjective, the concept is key to personal injury cases. Consulting your doctor to explain your pain and how the injury will affect your lifestyle is a strategy used to measure pain. Additionally, your friends or loved ones can testify about your pain and suffering. Thus you can qualify for compensation for the pain and suffering inflicted on you by accident.

  1. Property damage 

If you prove that your property was destroyed by accident, you are compensated to cover the loss. For example, if your car is destroyed in a road accident, you can seek compensation. However, you are not entitled to a new property unless the damage is beyond repair.

  1. Punitive damages

You would be awarded punitive damages if the defendant’s wrongful act was despicable. If the defendant is found guilty of the wrongful act of fraud, then punitive compensation will be awarded. Punitive damages will only be awarded if the liable party’s actions are reckless or proved to be intentional. Punitive damages are intended to punish the liable party or warn others from conducting similar offences.

Fair compensation after suffering personal injuries goes a long way. You can use the amount offered to cater to your medical expenses and attorney fees. However, you need a skilled lawyer experienced in handling personal injury cases. And this will ease the process and improve your compensation prospects.
