What Types of Damages are Available in Personal Injury Cases?

Posted By Allen Semelsberger Kaelin, LLP || 31-Aug-2020

A personal injury claim is a way for people who have been injured because of another person’s negligence to receive compensation for the resulting damages. As an injury victim, you may be wondering exactly what types of damages are compensable through a personal injury claim.

Compensation in personal injury cases will account mostly for medical bills. Other expenses that may be compensable include lost wages, travel costs, and more. In some cases, non-economic damages are compensable as well. An injury victim’s ability to recover these damages depends on how compensation will be paid and the strength of each side’s case.

Medical Bills

Medical bills usually account for the majority of expenses in a personal injury case. Your health should be your top priority after sustaining an injury, and getting proper treatment is crucial. Through a successful personal injury claim, you can receive compensation for the medical bills you have already paid, as well as benefits to pay for the medical expenses that may arise in the future.

Lost Wages

If your injury has affected your ability to work, you may be entitled to compensation for the wages you lost. Like compensation for medical bills, the compensation for your lost wages may account for both past and future expenses. Compensation may even be available if you have continued to work through your injury but have had to do so in a limited capacity and earn lower wages.

Additional Expenses

Your injury may have resulted in additional expenses other than medical bills and lost wages. You may have needed to pay for the cost of traveling to and from medical appointments. While incapacitated, you may have paid for help with cleaning, home maintenance, and other services. It could be possible for you to recover compensation for these other injury-related expenses as well.

Non-Economic Damages

Injuries can also cause extensive non-economic damages as well. Non-economic damages are damages that are not physical, financial, or tangible — such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and mental anguish. Although these damages do not have a monetary value, it is possible to recover compensation for them through a personal injury claim as well.

The lawyers of Allen, Semelsberger & Kaelin LLP can help you recover the compensation you deserve if you have been injured because of another person’s negligence.
