Suffering a serious personal injury because of someone else’s negligence can be a devastating experience. Whether your injury resulted from a car crash, dangerous product, medical malpractice, or hazardous condition, you may find it extremely difficult to fully recover and get back on your feet. Victims often need emergency medical care and further treatments, such as surgeries or physical therapy, to restore their health. Instead of being able to earn a living, victims may be incapacitated for days or even weeks. When a victim is no longer receiving income, hospital bills can become overwhelming. As a result, victims often find themselves under dire physical, emotional, and financial circumstances.

Every personal injury case is unique, and compensation is dependent on various factors, such as the severity of injuries suffered and expected recovery time.

If you are considering pursuing a personal injury lawsuit, you are probably wondering what your case is worth. If you have suffered any kind of injury, property damage, or other types of losses, you may be entitled to seek compensation from whoever caused or contributed to your injury. The legal term for personal injury compensation is known as damages. Damages were designed to compensate victims sufficiently to make them whole again. This means that you would be restored to the same position you were in before the accident or injury. The amount of damages received would be based upon what your injuries have cost you monetarily, health-wise, and emotionally.

Compensation involves both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages are compensation awarded for actual monetary losses and expenses. On the contrary, non-economic damages involve non-monetary and intangible losses. Whether a case is settled or tried in court, damages are calculated based on the actual injuries you suffered. The Dietrich Law Firm P.C.’s seasoned team has a long track record of obtaining justice for victims of serious accidents. Our highly experienced attorneys will develop the most effective legal strategy to prove liability, enhance your chances of obtaining the maximum compensation for all economic and non-economic damages suffered, and ensure that justice prevails.

Damages awarded in personal injury cases depend substantially on the particulars and facts surrounding your accident. Accurately assessing damages, in any case, can be an extraordinarily complicated undertaking. Determining what damages you are entitled to involves an accounting of the type and scope of all of your resulting injuries. Generally, the more serious your injuries are, the higher amount of damages you will receive. Victims suffering from injuries can pursue recovery of damages, which may include:

1. All past, present, and future medical costs resulting from your accident;
2. Rehabilitation and long-term care expenses;
3. All lost wages from missed work;
4. Reduced future earning capacity;
5. Pain and suffering (both physical and mental) caused by your injuries, as well as treatment and recovery;
6. Permanent disabilities suffered
7. Loss of consortium;
8. Loss of enjoyment in life;
9. Costs to repair or replace damaged property; and
10. Any other unforeseen damages associated with your accident.

Additionally, punitive damages may be available if it can be demonstrated that the defendant acted grossly negligent or reckless.
