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

Compensation in auto crash claims goes far beyond just repairing your car. Car collision injuries can cause a colossal physical and emotional toll and in order to truly recover you need fair and full compensation for each way your injury has impacted you and your loved ones. Typically, there are two types of damages you can recover in a personal injury claim:

Economic Damages

Economic damages are essentially compensation for the financial losses you have sustained because of your accident, and do not change based on how an insurance company or jury estimates 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 potential
• Medical expenses, past and future, including:
• A Pacific, MO emergency room visit
• Medications, for instance prescribed pain killers
• Physical rehabilitation
• Other doctor appointments
• Special equipment 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 summing up medical bills, car repair costs and how much wages you lost out on. More significant injuries can be much more convoluted. For example, if you needed a knee replacement after your auto crash, that will likely need to be replaced at some point. Burger Law's auto crash lawyer team's group of Pacific, 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 construction worker and can now no longer safely lift more than 20 pounds, that will significantly restrict your capacity to make a living in the future. Your Burger Law Pacific, MO auto crash lawyer will ensure that you are compensated for every penny of the financial consequences your injury has had on your life.

Noneconomic Damages

Noneconomic damages are harder to quantify, and often collecting fair compensation for them will require the evaluation of a jury. They refer to 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 higher 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 Pacific, MO jury to know how to assess. At Burger Law, our Pacific, MO auto crash lawyer team constantly hones its trial skills and knows how to win over juries. We help juries relate to you as a human being and see exactly how disastrous 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 because of your injury.

Punitive Damages

A third type of damages is rarely awarded in personal injury and motor vehicle wreck claims. Punitive damages serve to punish the negligent party and make them think twice before committing the same negligence again.According 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 accident 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 collect them. We seek punitive damages when we sue drunk drivers so they know exactly how dangerous their behavior was.

When you hire the Pacific, MO auto crash lawyer at Burger Law, we fight on your behalf and demand that you recover full compensation for every single one of your damages. We have over 70 years of combined experience standing up to bullies like resistant insurance companies that refuse to pay you what you you deserve.

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

Pursuant to Missouri Revised Statute §516.120, all tort claims, including motor vehicle collision 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 significant 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 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 person's careless behavior, the clock is already ticking. There's no time to wait before contacting a Pacific, MO auto crash lawyer.

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

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

Burger Law knows the ins and outs of Missouri law better than anyone. We will fight hard to reduce the amount you are being blamed for the auto accident and get you the maximum compensation you are owed.
