If you’re injured due to a company or individual’s negligence, you may sue for damages from the negligent entity or their insurer. For example, if you slip and fall at a supermarket because milk had been spilled on the floor, you could claim compensation because a hazardous condition caused you to fall and become injured. Assuming a successful trial outcome or settlement, the compensation you get will depend on the extent of your injuries. Damages you could claim include: 1. Medical expenses. This will reimburse you for the cost of medical treatment incurred following your injury. If your injuries require long-term treatment, that cost should also be included in your medical expenses claim. 2. Lost wages. You may not work for a period after your accident caused by negligence. The negligent party should pay you for lost income for those weeks or months you were unable to work. If you’re unable to resume work or work as efficiently as you did before your injury, a personal injury attorney can also claim future lost wages, which is compensation for the money lost because of your reduced productivity. 3. Physical and mental pain. An injury can cause significant physical and mental anguish. You can ask your attorney to claim compensation for the pain and emotional stress experienced. Personal Injury attorneys have means of calculating how much pain and suffering compensation you should be entitled to. Comments are closed.
