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

Compensation in auto wreck claims should not just be for repairing your vehicle. Car collision injuries can cause an enormous physical and emotional toll and in order to really recover you need fair and maximum compensation for every way your injury has affected you. Generally, there are two kinds of damages you can receive in a personal injury claim:

Economic Damages

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

• Property damage, such as damage to your vehicle car
• Lost wages
• Lost earning potential
• Medical expenses, past and future, including:
• A Butler, MO emergency room visit
• Medications, for example prescribed pain killers
• Physical therapy
• Other doctor appointments
• Assistive devices such as crutches or a wheelchair
• In-home care

In cases where injuries are not too severe the valuation of economic damages is as easy as totaling medical expenses, car repair costs and how much time you had to miss from work. More serious injuries can be much more complicated. For example, if you needed a hip 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 Butler, MO medical and economic experts will work out and demonstrate how frequently you will need a new replacement and how much it will cost, adjusting for inflation. If you need assistive devices such as a wheelchair, we will determine how much money you will require for those replacements. Similarly, if you were a construction worker and can now no longer safely lift more than 20 pounds, that will severely diminish your ability to make a living in the future. Your Burger Law Butler, MO auto crash lawyer will make certain that you receive compensation for every dime of the financial impact your injury has had on your life.

Noneconomic Damages

Noneconomic damages are more difficult to assess, and often collecting full compensation for them will require the judgment of a jury. They compensate you for the impact of your injuries on your emotional health and capacity 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 higher if you have 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 Butler, MO jury to know how to quantify. At Burger Law, our Butler, MO auto crash lawyer team constantly looks to imporove its trial skills and knows how to win over juries. We help juries relate to you as a person and understand exactly how devastating an impact your auto accident injuries have had on your life. You deserve a full financial recovery for the full extent of the consequences you have experienced as a result of your injury.

Punitive Damages

A third type of damages is rarely awarded in personal injury and motor vehicle crash 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 recover punitive damages your auto crash lawyer needs to:

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 the majority car accident cases it is difficult to 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 extreme their negligence was.

2. If you or your family member 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.
