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

Compensation in auto accident claims goes far beyond merely fixing your vehicle. Car collision injuries can lead to an immense physical and emotional toll and in order to really recover you need fair and maximum compensation for each way your injury has impacted your life. Typically, there are two kinds of damages you can recover in a personal injury claim:

Economic Damages

Economic damages are essentially compensation that can be objectively verified and do not change based 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 capacity
• Medical expenses, past and future, including:
• A Marshall, MO emergency room visit
• Medications, such as prescribed pain killers
• Physical therapy
• Follow-up 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 expenses, mechanics' bills and how much wages you lost out on. More serious injuries can be much more intricate. For example, if you needed a hip replacement after your vehicle accident, that will probably need to be replaced at some point. Burger Law's auto crash lawyer team's group of Marshall, MO medical and economic experts will figure and demonstrate how frequently you will need a new replacement and how much it will cost, accounting for inflation. If you need assistive devices such as a wheelchair, we will quantify how much money you will need for those replacements. Likewise, if you were a warehouse worker and can now no longer safely lift more than 20 pounds, that will notably limit your capacity to make a living in the future. Your Burger Law Marshall, MO auto crash lawyer will make sure that you are compensated for every nickel of the financial consequences your injury has had on you and your loved ones.

Noneconomic Damages

Noneconomic damages are more difficult to quantify, and often being awarded maximum compensation for them will require the judgment of a jury. They refer to the impact of your injuries on your emotional well-being 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 Marshall, MO jury to know how to calculate. At Burger Law, our Marshall, MO auto crash lawyer team constantly hones 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 understand precisely how devastating an impact your car wreck injuries have had on your life. You deserve the maximum financial recovery for the full extent of the consequences you have experienced because of your injury.

Punitive Damages

A third type of damages is seldom awarded in personal injury and auto crash claims. Punitive damages serve to punish the negligent party and deter them from committing the same negligence again.According 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 auto 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.

When you hire the Marshall, MO auto crash lawyer at Burger Law, we stand by your side and demand that you are awarded complete compensation for every single one of your damages. We have more than seven decades of combined experience standing up to bullies like resistant insurance companies that do not want to pay you what you are owed.

If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident because another driver broke the rules of the road, call Burger Law immediately at (314) 500-HURT.

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

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

1. If the defendant is a resident of the state of 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 under the age of 21 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 driver's reckless behavior, the clock is already ticking. Do not wait to calling a Marshall, MO auto crash lawyer.

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

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