After a personal injury accident leaves you with painful physical injuries, emotional trauma, and financial burdens, personal injury law allows you to seek compensation.
Naturally, you may wonder how much compensation you will receive.
Why Compensation Amounts Vary
Since every personal injury case is different, the compensation amount will vary widely based on the unique factors involved. It is essential to look at the type of injury, the severity of that injury, and the impacts it has forced upon your life to determine a suitable settlement amount.
How an Attorney Can Help Evaluate Your Claim
A personal injury attorney can help review your case and calculate the total amount of compensation you deserve. Your compensation will consist of both economic and non-economic damages.
Economic Damages: Tangible Financial Losses
Economic damages are more accessible to calculate as they are based on the bills and receipts for your expenses. These may include all medical expenses such as your hospital stay, surgeries, prescriptions, and physical therapy. You may also seek lost wages if you were unable to work, as well as property damage.
Non-Economic Damages: Intangible Harm
Noneconomic damages are intangible, making them more challenging to prove without the help of an accident lawyer. These may include:
- Mental anguish
- Pain and suffering
- Disfigurement
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of consortium.
