What Losses Can a Victim Recover in a Personal Injury Lawsuit?

If you have suffered an illness or injury caused by the negligent or reckless actions of another party, a personal injury lawyer understands that you are likely dealing with some serious medical and financial issues.

Depending on the severity of the injury, you may have required emergency medical treatment for the injury. There was likely diagnostic testing to determine the extent of damage and the injury may have required surgery and a hospital stay, as well as follow-up physical therapy and other rehabilitative services. All of this also likely means you were unable to work while your recovery was taking place, and maybe you still have not returned to work. Not working means no paycheck and no employee benefits.

There are also many emotional impacts the injury may have had, such as pain and suffering, mental anguish, disfigurement, and loss of the ability to perform daily activities.

It is because of all these losses that your state has laws in place that allows accident victims to pursue personal injury cases against the party who was responsible in order to receive compensation for all of these losses.

What Damages May Be Available?

The following is a list of all the economic and non-economic damages a victim may be able to collect:

  • Fees for ambulance transport
  • Emergency room visits
  • Hospital stays
  • All diagnostic testing
  • Both prescription and non-prescription medication
  • Physical, occupational, and mental therapy fees
  • Costs of transportation for medical services
  • Lost wages and benefits
  • Future loss of wages
  • Pain and suffering
  • Mental anguish
  • Disfigurement
  • Scarring
  • Permanent disability
  • Loss of companionship

Personal Injury Claim Process

Any type of personal injury claim is filed in the civil court system. The case is heard in front of a judge and either the judge or a jury will decide if any compensation should be awarded and how much that compensation should be.

Each state also has set a statute of limitation for how long a victim has to file a personal injury lawsuit. Generally, there is a two-year statute of limitation for personal injury claims from the date of discovery of the injury, although there may be some exceptions. A personal injury lawyer can determine what the statute of limitation is in your case.

In many cases, there is a preference for all parties to reach a settlement agreement rather than litigate the case in court. This is also referred to as alternative dispute resolution.
