Types of Compensation You Could Receive

If your case is successful, you may be entitled to different types of compensation:

  • Economic damages: These are quantifiable financial losses like medical bills, lost wages, and property damage.

  • Non-economic damages: These are more subjective and compensate for pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.

  • Punitive damages: In rare cases of extreme negligence, these may be awarded to punish the defendant.

Building Your Case

Gathering evidence like medical records, witness statements, and photos is crucial. Consulting with a personal injury attorney can guide you through the legal process and help maximize your chances of a successful claim.

Remember, personal injury laws vary by state, and there are often time limits for filing a lawsuit. Acting promptly is essential.
