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

Compensation in auto collision claims goes far beyond just repairing your vehicle. Car accident injuries can cause 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. In general, there are two kinds of damages you can receive in a personal injury case:

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 recover compensation for:

• Property damage, for example damage to your vehicle car
• Lost wages
• Lost earning potential
• Medical expenses, past and future, including:
• A Montgomery County, MO emergency room visit
• Medications, for instance 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 valuation of economic damages is as easy as totaling medical bills, mechanics' bills and how much wages you lost out on. More grave injuries can be much more complicated. For instant, if you needed a hip replacement after your auto collision, you will probably need a replacement at some point. Burger Law's auto crash lawyer team's team of Montgomery County, MO medical and economic experts will calculate and demonstrate how often 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 compute how much money you will need for those replacements. Likewise, if you were a warehouse worker and is not able to lift more than 20 pounds, that will significantly limit your ability to make a living in the future. Your Burger Law Montgomery County, MO auto crash lawyer will make certain that you recover compensation for every penny of the financial consequences your injury has had on you.

Noneconomic Damages

Noneconomic damages are tougher to assess, and often receiving maximum compensation for them will require the judgment of a jury. They recompense you for 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 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 Montgomery County, MO jury to know how to quantify. At Burger Law, our Montgomery County, 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 person and acknowledge precisely how catastrophic an impact your auto wreck injuries have had on your life. You deserve the maximum 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 seldom awarded in personal injury and car 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 be awarded 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 motor vehicle crash cases it is difficult to prove that somebody intentionally harmed you. However, in cases of extreme recklessness such as drunk driving, it is possible to receive them. We seek punitive damages when we sue drunk drivers so they know exactly how extreme their negligence was.

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

Pursuant to Missouri Revised Statute §516.120, all personal injury claims, including auto wreck claims, have a statute of limitations of five years, so that you have five years from the date your accident happened to file a claim. There are two important exceptions:

1. If the person you are making a claim against resides in Missouri and temporarily leaves the state, the time they are not in state does not count towards 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? | Montgomery County, MO Auto Crash Lawyer

If you were partially at fault for your accident, you may still be able to collect 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 crash, your compensation will be lowered 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.
