By thoroughly investigating your accident case, reviewing all of your medical records and consulting with experts, Truitt Law Offices will be well prepared to seek the maximum amount of damages for you.
The amount that can be recovered in a personal injury or wrongful death claim will depend on many factors and vary from case to case. However, typically, compensatory damages are sought that include:
Economic – These damages are aimed at compensating you for your financial losses such as past and future medical bills, lost income, diminished future earning capacity and other accident-related expenses.
Non-economic damages – These damages are subjective in nature. They are meant to compensate you for the physical and emotional pain and suffering you have faced due to your accident-related injuries. The severity of your injuries and the impact on your ability to enjoy life’s activities can be factors.
Punitive damages may also be pursued. These damages are meant to punish the party who caused your accident and deter similar misconduct in the future. These damages are capped at $50,000 or three times the amount awarded in compensatory damages – whichever is greater. As a plaintiff, you would receive 1/4 of the punitive damages amount. The rest goes to a violent crime victims’ fund.
If your loved one died in an accident caused by another’s negligence, you may be eligible to pursue wrongful death damages. These are economic damages, including the cost of medical, funeral and burial expenses and the loss of your loved one’s earnings. Punitive damages cannot be sought.
