If you have had any of the following expenses caused by an accident, then you may be entitled to compensation for these same expenses:
- Medical expenses: all of your medical expenses that were not covered by your insurance company may be compensable. This includes medical care such as surgeries and doctor visits, and medical bills such as care provided by nurses and costs of prescription medications.
- Rehabilitation costs: ongoing rehabilitation costs such as care provided by medical professionals in your home, physical therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and other rehabilitation costs are reimbursable.
- Personal out-of-pocket expenses: if you spend money on childcare, cleaning services, drivers, or other assistance personnel that you did not need prior to your injuries, these expenses are generally compensable. You may also receive compensation for expenses you will incur in the future.
- Lost wages: loss of income due to being absent from work, the projected time you will be away from work, reduced work hours, income reductions due to a change in profession caused by your injuries, are also compensable.
- Pain and suffering: loss of experiences such as attending school, going to social events, and taking vacations may entitle you to compensation. Similarly, embarrassment, physical pain, and suffering incurred due to physical disabilities or disfigurement caused by the accident may be compensable.
- Property damage: in the event that there is property damage as a result of the accident in question, you may be entitled to monetary compensation for those damages.
Usually insurance companies and courts will assign your responsibility for personal injuries in a certain percentage. This means that the award of compensation will be reduced by your percentage of responsibility.
For example, if you were 30% responsible for a motor vehicle accident because you were answering a call on your cell phone and were not paying attention while driving, your compensation will be reduced by 30% for also having negligent behavior.
It can be difficult for a personal injury victim to make an adequate estimate of their potential compensation without the necessary legal representation.
For example, some compensable damages can be ambiguous or subjective. However, although pain and suffering are not easily quantifiable, attorneys who are experts in the field can help you estimate a reasonable amount for pain and suffering.
