If you or a loved one has been injured in any type of automobile wreck, you may be able to recover the following damages with the help of SPEED LAW OFFICE:
Medical Expenses: This may include items such as ambulance fees, fees for emergency room visits, hospital care, surgery, physical therapy, chiropractic treatment, assistive devices and appointments with approved medical professionals.
Future Medical Expenses: If the injured person can prove that they will need continued medical care as a result of the crash, and that the problems are a result of the automobile wreck, they may be able to recover the cost of future medical expenses.
Lost Wages: Injured automobile wreck victims may be able to recover compensation for wages lost between the time of the injury and the conclusion of the lawsuit, if they can prove the wages they lost were the result of the wreck.
Loss of earning capacity: If the injured person can demonstrate that their ability to earn a living has been negatively impacted, compensation may be available. While past wages are considered in determining the amount of this award, the jury will typically look to establish the amount victim could have earned had the automobile wreck not occurred.
Non-economic damages: Non-economic damages may be awarded to the injured person for non-financial type losses. Automobile wreck damages for non-monetary losses are typically harder to quantify and may include compensation for the following:
-Pain and Suffering: This may include compensation for the physical pain suffered as a result of injuries sustained in the wreck. In awarding damages for pain and suffering, the jury will examine the nature of the injury, the extent of the pain, and the length of time the victim is expected to suffer.
-Mental Anguish: Injured persons may also be awarded for emotional pain suffered as a result of their automobile wreck. Mental anguish damages may compensate the injured person for fright, embarrassment, nervousness, worry, grief and other forms of emotional distress caused by the wreck.
-Loss of Consortium: If an automobile wreck lawsuit is successful, the uninjured spouse may be able to recover damages for loss of marital benefits, including companionship, sexual relations, affection and comfort. A jury will typically examine the following when awarding damages for loss of consortium: the stability of the marriage; the life expectancy of both partners; the degree to which marital benefits have been lost; and the amount of care and companionship given to the uninjured spouse.
-Punitive Damages: If the actions of the person that caused the wreck were so malicious or egregious, the jury may impose punitive damages, which are intended to punish the defendant and discourage similar behavior in the future.
If you or a loved one has suffered any of these types of injuries as a result of someone's negligence, please call SPEED LAW OFFICE immediately. SPEED LAW OFFICE will fight for compensation for victims of automobile wrecks.
