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

Compensation in auto collision claims should not just be for repairing your car. Car collision injuries can lead to a colossal physical and emotional toll and in order to genuinely recover you need fair and maximum compensation for every way your injury has affected you and your loved ones. In most cases, there are two kinds of damages you can recover in a personal injury case:

Economic Damages

Economic damages are basically 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 collect compensation for:

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

In cases where injuries are not too severe the estimation of economic damages is as easy as totaling medical bills, mechanics' bills and how much time you had to miss from work. More severe injuries can be much more complex. For instant, if you needed a joint replacement after your car wreck, you will probably need a replacement at some point. Burger Law's auto crash lawyer team's group of Greene County, 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 assistive devices such as a wheelchair, we will determine how much money you will need for those replacements. Likewise, if you were a construction worker and is not able to lift more than 20 pounds, that will notably diminish your capacity to make a living in the future. Your Burger Law Greene County, MO auto crash lawyer will make sure that you are compensated for every dime of the financial consequences your injury has had on your life.

Noneconomic Damages

Noneconomic damages are more difficult to quantify, and often being awarded maximum compensation for them will require the evaluation of a jury. They compensate you for the impact of your injuries on your emotional well-being 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 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 Greene County, MO jury to know how to calculate. At Burger Law, our Greene County, MO auto crash lawyer team consistently sharpens its trial skills and knows how to get juries to see things from your perspective. 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 great financial recovery for the full scope of the consequences you have experienced because of your injury.

Punitive Damages

A third type of damages is rarely awarded in personal injury and motor vehicle collision 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 collect 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 the majority car wreck cases you cannot prove that somebody intentionally harmed you. However, in cases of extreme recklessness such as drunk driving, it is possible to collect them. We seek punitive damages when we sue drunk drivers so they know exactly how extreme their negligence was.

When you hire the Greene County, MO auto crash lawyer at Burger Law, we fight on your behalf and demand that you collect complete compensation for all of your damages.

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

Pursuant to Missouri Revised Statute §516.120, all tort claims, including auto wreck claims, have a statute of limitations of five years. That means that you have five years from the date your accident took place to file a claim. There are two notable exceptions:

1. If the person you are making a claim against resides in Missouri and temporarily goes outside the state, the time they are out of state does not count against the five years.
2. If you or your loved one was less than 21 years old when the accident took place, or was "mentally incapacitated," you have 5 years from the 21st birthday or the date the disability ends to file a claim.

If you were injured because of another person's thoughtless behavior, the clock is already ticking. There's no time to wait before talking to a Greene County, MO auto crash lawyer.

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

If you contributed to your accident, you may still be able to be awarded compensation under Missouri law. Missouri is a pure comparative fault state. That means that if you are found to be partially at fault for the wreck, your compensation will be reduced by the percentage of blame you share. For instance, if a jury awards you $100,000 for an accident, but finds that you were 30 percent at fault, your final financial recovery 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.
