Recovering Compensation for Damages

The compensation available in an injury lawsuit will depend on the facts surrounding the injury. Common types of recoverable damages for personal injury claim include:

Medical Bills

Compensation for medical bills is a common part of an injury lawsuit. Hospital bills related to any injury can be high, but for severe injuries, they can be overwhelming. The injured victim can seek compensation for anything from emergency room visits to chiropractic care and more. Compensation can also cover future medical expenses.

Lost Wages

Victims can seek compensation for time away from work caused by an injury. Injuries that limit your ability to work may allow you to recover damages for your diminished future earning capacity.

Pain and Suffering

Plaintiffs can seek compensation for their pain and suffering, both physical and emotional.

Negotiating with Insurance Companies

Many personal injury claims are settled with insurance companies without filing a lawsuit. In some instances, filing a lawsuit and proceeding toward a jury trial may be necessary. Settlement agreements with insurance carriers can be reached at any time before or after a lawsuit is filed. Dealing with an aggressive insurance company can be complicated and frustrating for claimants, but not for a Becker Law Office Lexington personal injury attorney who is experienced negotiating with big insurance companies and dealing with adjusters.

Insurance adjusters are eager to settle claims early in the process, before the full extent of injuries are known, for far less than what the claim is worth. You should carefully consider having a personal injury attorney review any settlement offer before you respond.
