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

Compensation in auto collision claims goes far beyond just repairing your vehicle. Car collision injuries can carry an immense physical and emotional toll and in order to truly recover you need fair and maximum compensation for every way your injury has affected you. In general, there are two categories of damages you can be awarded in a personal injury case:

Economic Damages

Economic damages are essentially compensation for the financial losses you have sustained because of your accident, and do not change depending on how an insurance company or jury estimates 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, such as:
• A Nevada, MO emergency room visit
• Medications, for example prescribed pain killers
• Physical rehabilitation
• 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 expenses, car repair costs and how much wages you lost out on. More serious injuries can be much more complex. For example, if you needed a joint replacement after your auto collision, that will likely need to be replaced at some point. Burger Law's auto crash lawyer team's team of Nevada, MO medical and economic experts will work out 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 quantify how much money you will require for those replacements. Likewise, if you were a construction worker and is not able to lift more than 20 pounds, that will severely limit your ability to work in the future. Your Burger Law Nevada, MO auto crash lawyer will make sure that you collect compensation for every nickel of the financial impact your injury has had on your life.

Noneconomic Damages

Noneconomic damages are harder to assess, and often receiving maximum compensation for them will require the determination of a jury. They reimburse you for the impact of your injuries on your emotional health 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 Nevada, MO jury to know how to calculate. At Burger Law, our Nevada, MO auto crash lawyer team consistently looks to imporove its trial skills and knows how to win over juries. We help juries relate to you as a person and appreciate precisely how devastating an impact your motor vehicle collision injuries have had on your life. You deserve the maximum financial recovery for the full extent of the consequences you have experienced due to your injury.

Punitive Damages

A third type of damages is seldom awarded in personal injury and car wreck claims. Punitive damages serve to punish the negligent party and make them reconsider 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 most car wreck 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.

When you hire the Nevada, MO auto crash lawyer at Burger Law, we fight on your behalf and insist that you receive complete compensation for every single one of your damages.

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

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

1. If the defendant is a resident of the state of Missouri and temporarily goes outside the state, the time they are not in state does not count against the five years.
2. If you or your family member 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 somebody else's negligent actions, the clock is already ticking. There's no time to wait before speaking with a Nevada, MO auto crash lawyer.

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

If you contributed to your accident, you can still recover compensation under Missouri law. Missouri is a pure comparative fault state. Meaning that if you are found to be partially at fault for the crash, 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 determines that you were 30 percent at fault, the final amount your receive would be $70,000.
