Potential Damages in a Personal Injury Claim

When an injury or death occurs due to the negligent actions of others, the law provides help for a victim in the form of a personal injury claim or wrongful death lawsuit. While this is a vital legal tool to help victims recover, the legal process is complex and winning a proper settlement or jury award requires the help of a skilled professional.

In the state of New York, Articles 50-A and 50-B of the Civil Practice Law and Rules define both economic and non-economic damages and how they are calculated. When properly applied, these Articles are highly favorable toward injured victims.

Economic damages include:

Earnings lost or a diminished earning capacity due to the injury
Costs of current, past, and future medical and rehabilitative care
Costs of services the injured person must pay for because they can no longer perform them due to their injury
The value of care services provided by a family member

Your lawyer may employ the help of experts in their field in order to calculate economic damages. These experts include physicians, rehabilitation specialists, lifecare planners, economists, and others. In this way, we can better assess the costs of your injury to fight for the full compensation you need.

In addition, we may be able to pursue non-economic damages, which include pain and suffering, the loss of enjoyment, and the loss of services provided to family members. Though non-economic damages do not have a quantitative number attached to them, they are an essential piece of your recovery. Based on the details of your case and the facts of the law, your attorney will fight for the maximum compensation you are owed.

Should You Hire a Lawyer for Your Personal Injury Case?

Negligent defendants can be stubborn and insurance companies often do whatever they can to minimize your claim. The law is also complex and attempting to handle your case on your own can lead to additional stress, heartache, and a less money than you need, or, worse, a complete denial of your claim. At E.

What is the difference between criminal procedure and civil procedure?

When a crime has been committed, action is taken by a government agency against the person, persons, organization or other entity that violated the law. The first purpose of a criminal prosecution is punishment, which frequently consists of a fine or jail time. In a civil matter, the dispute is between two or more individuals or entities. The first purpose of a civil prosecution is obtaining compensation for the wronged person or entity. Settlement in a civil matter is generally an award of a money judgment. A criminal sentence is not imposed in a civil matter.
