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

Compensation in auto accident claims should not be limited to repairing your vehicle. Car crash injuries can lead to an enormous physical and emotional toll and in order to genuinely recover you need fair and full compensation for every way your injury has affected your life. Typically, there are two kinds of damages you can be awarded in a personal injury case:

Economic Damages

Economic damages are basically compensation for the financial losses you have sustained because of your accident, 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, for example damage to your vehicle car
• Lost wages
• Lost earning potential
• Medical expenses, past and future, including:
• A Webb City, 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 summing up medical bills, car repair costs and how much wages you lost out on. More serious injuries can be much more convoluted. For example, if you needed a knee replacement after your auto accident, you will likely need a replacement at some point. Burger Law's auto crash lawyer team's team of Webb City, 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 compute how much money you will need for those replacements. Similarly, if you were a warehouse worker and can now no longer safely lift more than 20 pounds, that will severely diminish your ability to work in the future. Your Burger Law Webb City, MO auto crash lawyer will make sure that you collect compensation for every dollar of the financial impact your injury has had on your life.

Noneconomic Damages

Noneconomic damages are tougher to quantify, and often receiving full compensation for them will require the judgment of a jury. They recompense you for the impact of your injuries on your emotional health 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 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 Webb City, MO jury to know how to put a number on. At Burger Law, our Webb City, MO auto crash lawyer team consistently sharpens its trial skills and knows how to get juries to see things from your point of view. We help juries relate to you as a person and understand precisely how catastrophic an impact your motor vehicle accident injuries have had on your life. You deserve a great financial recovery for the full extent of the consequences you have experienced because of your injury.

Punitive Damages

A third type of damages is infrequently awarded in personal injury and auto crash 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 recover punitive damages your auto crash lawyer has 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 wreck cases it is difficult to 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 behavior was.

When you hire the Webb City, MO auto crash lawyer at Burger Law, we stand by your side and demand that you collect full compensation for every single one of your damages. We have more than 70 years 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 auto accident because somebody else 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? | Webb City, MO Auto Crash Lawyer

According to Missouri Revised Statute §516.120, all tort claims, including car accident claims, have a statute of limitations of five years, so that you have five years from the date your accident took place to file a claim. There are two notable exceptions:

1. If the defendant resides in Missouri and temporarily goes outside 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 when the accident occurred, or was "mentally incapacitated," you have 5 years from the 21st birthday or the date the disability ends to file a claim.

If you were injured because of somebody else's careless behavior, the clock is already ticking. There's no time to wait before reaching out to a Webb City, MO auto crash lawyer.

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

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