General Damages in a Personal Injury Case
At Handy & Handy, our attorneys have more than 35 years of combined experience helping individuals and families in Salt Lake City with personal injury claims. We are dedicated to advocating for our client’s best interests and guiding them through the claims process.
We receive all types of questions from clients during their initial consultations. During our first meeting, we will cover a lot of information that is specific to your case. However, we believe it is important to educate consumers about the personal injury claims process and what they need to know about pursuing damages in their case.
Compensation For Medical Care And Treatment
Compensation may be available to pay your medical expenses after an accident. This can include emergency and immediate medical treatment you required along with the long-term medical care you may require to fully recover from your injuries. Seeking compensation for your medical expenses can be a long process, depending on how long it takes for you to recover from your injuries.
Compensation For Pain And Suffering
You may be entitled to compensation for your pain and suffering. This is different from your medical expenses, lost wages and loss of future earnings. Pain and suffering encompass intangible losses such as emotional issues, frustration, the loss of enjoyment of life and not being able to do the same things you enjoyed before.
Damages for your pain and suffering are harder to evaluate and prove. We will need to learn about how you have been impacted by documenting the activities you used to enjoy, the emotional toll of your injuries and any other effects your injuries have had on your life.
Compensation For Lost Wages
You may be able to seek compensation for your lost wages after an injury. This can include wages you would have received during missed work due to your injuries in an accident. You may also be able to seek compensation for loss of future earnings if you suffer long-term injuries or complications that result in you not being able to work anymore in your given field or profession.
Our lawyers will guide you through the process of filing a claim. We will explain your rights, what options are available for pursuing damages and how negligent parties can be held liable for their actions.
