How a Catastrophic Injury Attorney Will Help You Win Your Case
The stakes are quite high when catastrophic injuries are being claimed. To recover compensation for your injuries, you must not be at fault for the accident. Proving the extent of the injuries and translating the damage into compensation requires complex medical knowledge and negotiation skills. An insurance company is often facing the prospect of a huge payout when catastrophic injuries occur and claims adjusters will try to limit those payments as much as possible. An experienced Winston-Salem catastrophic injuries attorney will anticipate insurance company objections and be able to put together the evidence necessary so you can collect the maximum you are entitled to.
Damages You Can Recover After a Catastrophic Injury Accident
If you were in a motor vehicle accident and suffered catastrophic injuries, you may need ongoing medical treatment or be at risk for developing additional health-related problems. You may be in pain. You may not be able to work at the same job or you may not be able to work at all. Your plans for your life may now not be possible. All of these circumstances are taken into consideration when determining the total amount of compensation you will receive. You are entitled to be compensated for the following types of damage.
- Actual medical expenses – the cost of medical treatment you have already received
- Anticipated medical expenses – the expected cost of medical treatment you are going to require in the future
- Lost income – actual money you were not able to earn due to your injuries
- Lost ability to earn income – what you could have expected to earn had you been able to remain on the same career path as before the accident
- Pain & suffering – for having to feel actual physical pain
- Mental anguish – your emotional response to how your life experience has changed
- Losses others will experience because of your injuries – such as loss of companionship and support
An additional element of damage can be awarded if the party responsible for your injuries has acted especially badly. Punitive damages are in addition to the damages that compensate you. They are intended to punish the wrongdoer and deter any similar behavior in the future. North Carolina law is specific about the kinds of behavior that might trigger punitive damages and limits the amounts that can be awarded.
