Navigating Major Injuries
Serious injuries can bring complications that affect both your personal and professional life. These life-altering injuries require attorneys with experience in this area. The team at MIJ has the understanding to help you hold those responsible accountable for your suffering. It’s not just you who is affected; your loved ones also bear the burden.
Serious injuries encompass a range of issues, including traumatic brain injuries (TBI), broken bones and fractures, burns, loss of limbs, and neck, back and spinal injuries.
What Kinds Of Damages Can You Claim In Personal Injury Cases?
The compensation, or “damages,” that you can claim in a personal injury claim generally includes both economic and noneconomic damages.
Economic damages include concrete, measurable financial losses. These include things like medical expenses related to the injury, including ambulance rides, hospital bills, medications and physical therapy. It can also include anticipated future medical expenses for long-term care or assistive devices. Other economic damages include lost wages, lost future earning capacity and property damage.
Noneconomic damages include intangible losses that are much harder to quantify, such as your pain and suffering (both physical and emotional), harm to your relationship with your spouse (loss of consortium), emotional distress related to the accident, and your reduced quality of life due to an inability to engage in hobbies, socialize or enjoy other things.
In rare cases, when the at-fault party acted intentionally, fraudulently or committed an act of gross negligence that put others at a high probability of serious injury, you may be eligible for punitive damages. These are designed to punish the other party for their actions and are not tied to either your tangible or intangible losses.
What Factors Affect The Value Of Personal Injury Claims?
Several factors influence the value of a personal injury claim. These include:
● The severity of your injuries, and whether you are left with permanent scars or disabilities as a result
● The length of your recovery time, since that directly affects how long you may require treatment or be away from work
● Whether you missed work and lost income or professional opportunities during your recovery time, and whether your injuries will affect your ability to work in the future
● The clarity surrounding liability, such as whether there is strong evidence against the at-fault party or the at-fault party admits to causing the accident
● Any shared liability on your part, since your compensation may be reduced by whatever percentage of blame for the accident is allocated your way
Finally, it’s important to remember that the limits of the at-fault party’s insurance coverage can often restrict a claim for damages unless other sources of funds are identified.
