What Compensation Will My Arnold, MO Auto Crash Lawyer Recover for Me?

Compensation in auto crash claims should not be limited to fixing your car. Car crash injuries can lead to a colossal physical and emotional toll and in order to genuinely recover you need fair and full compensation for each way your injury has affected you and your loved ones. Typically, there are two types of damages you can receive in a personal injury case:

Economic Damages

Economic damages are essentially compensation that can be objectively verified and do not change depending on how an insurance company or jury estimates them. Your Burger Law auto crash lawyer will help you recover compensation for:

• Property damage, for example damage to your vehicle car
• Lost wages
• Lost earning potential
• Medical expenses, past and future, such as:
• A Arnold, MO emergency room visit
• Medications, for instance prescribed pain killers
• Physical rehabilitation
• Follow-up appointments
• Special equipment such as crutches or a wheelchair
• In-home nursing

In cases where injuries are not too severe the evaluation of economic damages is as easy as summing up medical expenses, car repair costs and how much wages you lost out on. More grave injuries can be much more intricate. For example, if you needed a joint replacement after your vehicle wreck, that will probably need to be replaced at some point. Burger Law's auto crash lawyer team's network of Arnold, MO medical and economic experts will calculate and demonstrate how often you will need a new replacement and how much it will cost, adjusting for inflation. If you need special equipment such as a wheelchair, we will calculate how much money you will need for those replacements. Similarly, if you were a construction worker and can now no longer safely lift more than 20 pounds, that will severely decrease your ability to provide for your family in the future. Your Burger Law Arnold, MO auto crash lawyer will make sure that you are compensated for every dollar of the financial consequences your injury has had on your life.

Noneconomic Damages

Noneconomic damages are tougher to assess, and often recovering maximum compensation for them will require the judgment of a jury. They reimburse you for the impact of your injuries on your emotional health and ability to enjoy life. Missouri Senate Bill 239 defines noneconomic damages as:

• Pain and suffering
• Mental anguish
• Inconvenience
• Physical impairment
• Disfigurement
• Loss of capacity to enjoy life
• Loss of consortium

Your noneconomic damages will be greater if you sustain a "catastrophic personal injury," which Missouri Senate Bill 239 defines as:

• Quadriplegia, or losing function of all four limbs
• Paraplegia, or losing function of two limbs
• Loss of two or more limbs
• A brain injury that results in permanent cognitive impairment
• An injury that causes irreversible failure to one or more major organs
• An injury that results in legal blindness

Noneconomic damages such as pain and suffering are often difficult for a Arnold, MO jury to know how to quantify. At Burger Law, our Arnold, MO auto crash lawyer team consistently sharpens its trial skills and knows how to get juries to see things from your point of view. We help juries relate to you as a human being and acknowledge precisely how devastating an impact your motor vehicle accident injuries have had on your life. You deserve the best possible financial recovery for the full scope of the consequences you have experienced due to your injury.

Punitive Damages

A third type of damages is not commonly awarded in personal injury and motor vehicle wreck claims. Punitive damages serve to punish the negligent party and make them think twice before committing the same negligence again.Pursuant to Missouri Senate Bill 591, to receive punitive damages your auto crash lawyer must:

prove by clear and convincing evidence that the defendant intentionally harmed the plaintiff without just cause or acted with a deliberate and flagrant disregard for the safety of others.

In most car accident cases you cannot prove that somebody intentionally harmed you. However, in cases of extreme recklessness such as drunk driving, they can often be awarded. We seek punitive damages when we sue drunk drivers so they know exactly how dangerous their actions were.

1. If the defendant lives in Missouri and temporarily leaves the state, the time they are not in state does not count against the five years.
2. If you or your loved one was less than 21 years old at the time of the accident, or was "mentally incapacitated," you have 5 years from the the date you turn 21 or the date the disability ends to file a claim.

What if the Accident Was Partially My Fault? | Arnold, MO Auto Crash Lawyer

Meaning that if you are found to be partially to blame for the crash, your compensation will be decreased by the percentage of blame you share.
