How Damages Are Assessed In A Personal Injury Case?
How damages are assessed in a personal injury case?
If you've been injured in an accident, you may be entitled to receive compensation for your damages. Of course, there are also times when someone else is at fault and they're liable to pay for the consequences of their misdeeds.
Section 1: Damages in a personal injury case are assessed based on the types of injuries that you sustained as well as the cost that comes with these injuries. The cost of medical care, lost wages and rehabilitation are just some of the factors that your lawyer will include in your claim. You may also be able to receive compensation for pain and suffering if you endured emotional trauma or psychological problems because of the injury.
Section 2: Once you've filed a lawsuit, the party that's responsible for paying the damages will hire an attorney who specializes in defending them against this accusation. The lawyer will go over all the aspects of your claim and try to prove that you don't deserve damages because your injuries weren't severe enough or because they didn't result from their negligence. In order to do so, they may attempt to prove that there was no other party responsible for causing your injuries or that any actions they did take weren't enough to cause the damage you're claiming.
