Possible Awards Stemming From a Successful Personal Injury Claim
Everything about your case is unique, including your injuries, the cause of those injuries, and the defendant who is responsible for those injuries. Because your case is so specific (and we have yet to hear it), there is no guaranteeing precisely what amount of compensation to which you may be entitled.
Some possibilities may include coverage for:
- Any emergency transportation that you took from the scene of your accident
- Any medical care that you required upon arrival at the hospital, especially if it was emergency care
- Any diagnostic tests that you underwent after the accident
- Any surgeries or other medical procedures required because of your accident
- The entirety of your hospital stay post-accident
- If you are suffering from an illness, the cost of all treatments for that illness (such as chemotherapy and radiation for cancer)
- Any income that you have sacrificed because of your injury or illness
- If you are able to work, any diminished earning power caused by the effects of your injury or illness
- Any educational, professional, or personal opportunities that you can no longer pursue because of the effects of your accident or injuries
- Pain and suffering that has resulted from the accident, injuries, or illness that you endured
- Punitive damages against the defendant or defendants in your case
The specifics of your case may entitle you to additional awards, and a personal injury lawyer can help you better understand what those may be. Call our team at Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers today at (337) 777-7777 to discuss your case further, at no cost.
