What Compensation Will My Town & Country, MO Auto Crash Lawyer Recover for Me?

Compensation in auto accident claims should not just be for repairing your car. Car wreck injuries can cause an enormous physical and emotional toll and in order to genuinely recover you need fair and maximum compensation for each way your injury has affected your life. In most cases, there are two categories of damages you can receive in a personal injury case:

Economic Damages

Economic damages are essentially 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 recover compensation for:

• Property damage, such as damage to your vehicle car
• Lost wages
• Lost earning capacity
• Medical expenses, past and future, including:
• A Town & Country, MO emergency room visit
• Medications, for instance 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 significant injuries can be much more complex. For instant, if you needed a knee replacement after your auto collision, that will probably need to be replaced at some point. Burger Law's auto crash lawyer team's team of Town & Country, 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 special equipment such as a wheelchair, we will calculate how much money you will need for those replacements. Similarly, if you were a construction worker and is not able to lift more than 20 pounds, that will significantly restrict your ability to make a living in the future. Your Burger Law Town & Country, MO auto crash lawyer will ensure that you recover compensation for every dime of the financial consequences your injury has had on your life.

Noneconomic Damages

Noneconomic damages are harder to quantify, and often being awarded maximum compensation for them will require the determination of a jury. They refer to 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 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 Town & Country, MO jury to know how to assess. At Burger Law, our Town & Country, MO auto crash lawyer team constantly looks to imporove its trial skills and knows how to win over juries. We help juries relate to you as a person and acknowledge precisely how devastating 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 due to your injury.

Punitive Damages

A third type of damages is seldom awarded in personal injury and auto accident claims. Punitive damages serve to punish the at-fault party and make them think twice before committing the same negligence again.According to Missouri Senate Bill 591, to receive punitive damages your auto crash lawyer needs to:

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 accident 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 Town & Country, MO auto crash lawyer at Burger Law, we stand by your side and insist 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 do not want to pay you what you you deserve.

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

According to Missouri Revised Statute §516.120, all tort claims, including auto collision 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 important exceptions:

1. If the defendant lives in Missouri and temporarily leaves 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 when the accident happened, 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 negligent behavior, the clock is already ticking. Do not delay in calling a Town & Country, MO auto crash lawyer.

What if the Accident Was Partially My Fault? | Town & Country, MO Auto Crash Lawyer

If you were partially to blame for your accident, you can still 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 decreased 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.
