What Compensation You Can Receive
When you begin a personal injury claim, you can seek different types of compensation.
Damages can be economic (direct expenses) and non-economic, which are in addition to actual expenditures.
Economic Damages
These damages can include all expenses for anything resulting from your injuries, such as:
- Medical expenses: This includes all tests, doctors, surgeries, hospital expenses, pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, and physical therapy. In cases of disability, this could consist of modifications such as a wheelchair ramp. Depending on your injuries, you may also include necessary future treatments.
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity: Our attorneys can fight for the wages you lost due to an inability to work. This may also include future lost or reduced wages due to your injuries.
- Property damage: This can include repairing or replacing your automobile or other property damage.
- Travel to and from medical appointments: Uber, Lyft, ambulances, and medical transport services can be recovered if the expenses are a direct result of your injuries.
Your compensation may also include expected future losses, additional medical procedures, surgeries, physical therapy, and other expenses resulting from your injuries.
Non-Economic Damages
Available compensation in this area could include additional monetary awards for the things that money can’t buy. Some potentially available awards include:
- Permanent disability or dismemberment: Any injury that will continue to bear on your daily life—such as a lost limb, traumatic brain injury, or permanent disability—can be added to your claim.
- Pain and suffering: This area includes emotional trauma, mental anguish, and continuing physical pain from your injury.
- Loss of enjoyment of life: Your injuries may prevent you from doing things you formerly enjoyed. This loss of enjoyment is compensable.
- Loss of consortium: All too often, serious injury changes your ability to maintain a relationship. If your injury caused strife in your relationships, that might be compensatable.
How Long Will a Claim Take?
Each personal injury claim is unique. There is no predetermined timetable that allows us to quote a date for your case’s completion. Most personal injury claims settle before reaching a courtroom. Settling out of court can make for a more efficient resolution of your case.
It may take time to collect and document the full extent of your injuries and damages. Be assured that our office will diligently collect and organize your claim promptly and work hard to obtain the compensation you deserve.

Determining Negligence
In any personal injury claim involving negligence, there must be four elements present in the case:
- Duty: This means that the responsible party had a duty of care towards you.
- Breach: The party neglected to act in a manner that would have prevented an accident.
- Causation: The responsible party’s actions played a direct role in causing the accident or injuries.
- Damages: This refers to the damages and injuries that resulted from the party’s breach of duty.
When all four elements are present, you can establish negligence. A personal injury attorney from our team will work to assemble your claim and compile strong evidence to see your claim through to a final resolution.
