Successfully resolving a lawsuit, whether via a settlement or a jury award can lead to financial damages. These payments can help you get your life back on track after a major accident or injury.
In most personal injury cases, damages cover:
- Emergency room fees
- Hospital bills
- All other medical expenses
- The costs of rehabilitative care
- Missed wages
- Decreased earning potential
- Changes to your quality of life
- And more
In cases of extreme wrongdoing, you may also be awarded punitive damages. Also called exemplary damages, these payments are meant to punish defendants and discourage similar behavior in the future. They can also provide additional comfort to victims.
In wrongful death claims, you should also be compensated for funerary expenses and loss of companionship. While no amount of money can bring a loved one back, alleviating financial stress and uncertainty can give you the time and space you need to grieve.
