What Can You Be Compensated For?
As a plaintiff in a personal injury lawsuit, you can look to recover damages from the defendant. This can take many forms but typically consists of:
- Medical Bills - Most injuries will require medical attention and medical bills can accumulate quickly. Injured parties can seek compensation for those medical expenses which may include doctor visits, emergency care, hospitalization, and any other medical expense directly related to the injuries. Victims can also seek to recover costs related to future medical care they will need as a result of their injuries.
- Lost Wages - Injured individuals may seek compensation for lost wages caused by their injuries, as well as future lost wages if the injuries prevent them from returning to gainful employment.
- Pain and Suffering - Damages for past, present and future pain and suffering can also be sought against a defendant.
