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

Compensation in auto crash claims goes far beyond just repairing your vehicle. Car collision injuries can cause a colossal physical and emotional toll and in order to really recover you need fair and full compensation for each way your injury has impacted you and your loved ones. Generally, 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 based on how an insurance company or jury assesses them. Your Burger Law auto crash lawyer will help you receive compensation for:

• Property damage, such as damage to your vehicle car
• Lost wages
• Lost earning potential
• Medical expenses, past and future, including:
• A Desloge, MO emergency room visit
• Medications, for example prescribed pain killers
• Physical rehabilitation
• Other doctor appointments
• Special equipment 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, mechanics' bills and how much wages you lost out on. More grave injuries can be much more convoluted. For example, if you needed a knee replacement after your vehicle accident, you will likely need a replacement at some point. Burger Law's auto crash lawyer team's network of Desloge, MO medical and economic experts will figure 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 require for those replacements. Similarly, if you were a warehouse worker and is not able to lift more than 20 pounds, that will notably limit your capacity to make a living in the future. Your Burger Law Desloge, MO auto crash lawyer will make sure that you collect compensation for every penny of the financial consequences your injury has had on you and your loved ones.

Noneconomic Damages

Noneconomic damages are harder to assess, and often receiving fair compensation for them will require the determination of a jury. They reimburse 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 Desloge, MO jury to know how to assess. At Burger Law, our Desloge, MO auto crash lawyer team constantly looks to imporove its trial skills and knows how to get juries to see things from your perspective. We help juries relate to you as a human being and recognize precisely how disastrous an impact your motor vehicle wreck injuries have had on your life. You deserve a great financial recovery for the full scope 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 car crash claims. Punitive damages serve to punish the at-fault party and deter them from committing the same negligence again.Pursuant to Missouri Senate Bill 591, to be awarded 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 most car collision 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 behavior was.

When you hire the Desloge, MO auto crash lawyer at Burger Law, we fight on your behalf and demand that you recover complete compensation for all of your damages. We have more than 70 years of combined experience standing up to bullies like resistant insurance companies that do not want to pay you what you you deserve.

How Long Do I Have to File a Car Accident Claim? | Desloge, MO Auto Crash Lawyer

According to Missouri Revised Statute §516.120, all tort claims, including auto wreck claims, have a statute of limitations of five years, meaning that you have five years from the date your accident occurred to file a claim. There are two important exceptions:

1. If the person you are making a claim against is a resident of the state of 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 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.

If you were injured because of another person's thoughtless actions, the clock is already ticking. Do not delay in reaching out to a Desloge, MO auto crash lawyer.

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

If you contributed to your accident, you can still receive compensation under Missouri law. Missouri is a pure comparative fault state. That means that if you are found to be partially to blame for the collision, your compensation will be lowered by the percentage of blame you share. For example, if a jury awards you $100,000 for an accident, but determines that you were 30 percent at fault, your final compensation would be $70,000.

Burger Law knows the intricacies of Missouri law better than anyone. We will fight hard to lessen the amount of blame being placed on you and get you the maximum compensation you deserve.
