Frequently Asked Questions About Personal
Injury Law and Lawsuits |
|
- 7. What recovery will I receive?
|
In most jurisdictions, if the defendants
are found liable, you are entitled to a judgment that fully compensates
you for your financial loss. If you suffered a personal injury, the defendant
is responsible for paying for your medical care, both past and expected,
your past and future lost earnings, and an amount to compensate you for
pain and suffering. Your spouse also might be entitled to an award.
If a loved one died, the recovery usually is based on the amount of economic
support and services that you lost, plus, in some jurisdictions, an amount
designed to compensate for your grief and mental anguish. We have economists
who specialize in evaluating these injuries and calculating the lump-sum
amount to determine a monetary compensation for your loss.
If the conduct that caused the accident was egregious, you may also be
entitled to an award of punitive damages in certain states. |
|
| The law of most states
protects persons injured by the wrongful conduct
of another or by products that were defectively
designed, manufactured or labeled. A personal injury
lawsuit may be filed for pain and suffering caused
by the wrongful conduct or the faulty product. |
