Types of Damages

Pain and Suffering

The jury will consider testimony from expert witnesses and the overall state of the plaintiff following his or her accident to award an appropriate amount to compensate physical pain, mental distress, and emotional suffering resulting from a defendant’s negligence.

LOST INCOME

If an injury forced you to miss work in order to recover, you may be able to claim compensation for the wages lost at that time.

MEDICAL EXPENSES

A plaintiff may be able to claim compensation for expenses related to medical treatment resulting from a negligent act. It’s crucial for the plaintiff to have proof that his or her medical expenses resulted from the defendant’s actions.

PROPERTY DAMAGE

If the defendant’s negligent act damaged or destroyed the plaintiff’s personal property, the plaintiff may be able to recoup the costs of replacing or repairing those items.

I found Vic online and talked to him. I had no health insurance and no money to pay for these kinds of bills. His firm covered close to 100,000 dollars worth of medical bills and sent me away with 30,000 dollars in my bank account.
