Getting the compensation you need can make a significant difference in the quality of your recovery. It will allow you to focus on your healing and rebuilding instead of on your financial losses. Damage awards compensate for many types of losses, including pain and suffering and any decrease in quality of life. 

Lost Wages

You may be entitled to compensation for any lost wages and missed work from your injury. Personal injury victims often miss work immediately after an injury. Depending on the severity of the injury, you might lose weeks and possibly months of wages. 

A fair damage award may compensate you not only for all of your past lost wages, but any future losses you may sustain during your recovery. If victims cannot return to work, they may be entitled to compensation for years of future lost wages.

Medical Expenses

Medical expenses for the care and treatment you received after your injury are likely starting to pile up. Further, depending on the severity of your injury, you may be facing years of therapy or rehab which means even more medical expenses. 

It can be scary to have to worry about paying future medical expenses when you have not yet paid all of your past expenses. But compensation can help cover your past expenses as well as those for any future medical care you need, including:

• Ambulance costs
• Hospital stays
• Surgeries
• Medications
• Diagnostics
• Occupational and physical therapy
• Travel and lodging expenses to and from treatment
• Medical equipment

Other Damages

In addition to financial reimbursement, our personal injury lawyers want to make sure you get the non-economic damage award you deserve. You can also recover compensation for intangible losses, including:

• losses in quality of life 
• mental distress
• pain and suffering
