Every personal injury case is different. The amount of compensation you may recover is heavily dependent on who is liable for your injuries and how severe your injuries are. Though we cannot give an accurate estimation of the value of your case, there are certain types of damages we often recover.

The most common types of recoverable damages in a personal injury claim are:

Medical Bills

In most personal injury claims, you can expect to recover the cost of medical treatment you required as a result of the accident. Generally, medical damages include emergency care, doctor’s appointments, hospital stays, medication, surgeries, mobility devices, and the cost of future or on-going care, as required.

Lost Wages and Benefits

There are two aspects of lost wages you may be able to claim—current and future lost wages. If you miss work due to your injuries, you can often recover your missing salary in a personal injury claim. In addition, if you are unable to work in the same capacity following your injuries, you may be able to recover lost future wages.

If you can no longer work in the same capacity, you may also be eligible to recover damages for the loss of health insurance or retirement benefits from your employer.

Personal Property Damages

In many personal injury cases, personal property is also damaged as a result of the accident. You may be eligible to recover the cost of repair or replacement of these items. For example, in a car accident, you may be eligible to recover the cost of repairing your car.

Pain and Suffering

In addition to out-of-pocket costs you face, such as lost wages, you may also experience pain and mental anguish following your accident. Depending on the details of your case, you may be able to recover compensation for the pain and suffering you experienced as a result of someone else’s action.
