Below, our Miami personal injury attorney how to claim compensation after an accident caused by another person.

Practice Areas

Damages Available in Personal Injury Cases

After an accident caused by another person’s negligence, or carelessness, you may deserve compensation for your losses. In personal injury cases, compensation is known as damages and it is divided into economic and non-economic losses.

Economic damages refer to the losses you suffered that have a concrete quantifiable value. These damages include your medical expenses, lost income, property damage, and more. Not all losses are as easy to calculate as economic damages. These losses fall into the category of non-economic damages, which do not have an actual dollar value. These damages include pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of consortium, and reduced quality of life.

It is not always easy to determine right away how much a personal injury claim is worth. Some of the factors that will impact any settlement you receive are as follows:

  • The nature and extent of your injuries
  • The extent of your other losses and what they have cost you physically, mentally, and financially
  • The type of expenses you will incur in the future due to your injuries
  • The extent to which your income has been impacted due to your injuries
  • Whether your injuries are temporary or permanent

Generally, the more severe your injuries are and the more losses you have incurred, the more compensation you can receive in a settlement.
