In reality, every personal injury case is different and unique. There’s no simple answer to how much your case is worth.
If you or a dear one has suffered a serious injury due to another’s negligence, you could be wondering how much money you can get through a personal injury lawsuit. If you have been hurt as a result of somebody else’s carelessness, you may be entitled to hefty compensation.
The Moore Law Group, LLC understands the financial hardships and frustrations that come with being wounded as a result of someone else’s crime or negligence.
Our experienced team has assisted clients in Volusia and Flagler counties, as well as the surrounding areas, in obtaining significant compensation for their injuries.
What Are Punitive Damages?
Punitive damages are monetary awards made by the court in personal injury cases. Rather than just compensating the victim, the major goal of these damages is to penalize the irresponsible party.
These types of damages are normally only awarded in the most egregious incidents of negligence. Injury victims can receive compensation from the insurance companies of the at-fault parties through a settlement after filing an injury claim or a trial verdict also after filing a lawsuit.
Here’s How The Personal Injury Compensation Is Calculated!
Most personal injury damages are categorized as “compensatory,” meaning they are meant to
recompense the afflicted plaintiff for the losses incurred as a result of the injury or accident.
A compensatory damages judgment is intended to make the aggrieved financially “whole” (to the degree possible). This is attempting to quantify all of the implications of an accident.
Sometimes compensatory damages, such as recompense for property damage and medical expenditures, are quite simple to calculate.
However, putting a financial value on “suffering and pain” or the inability to enjoy pastimes due to physical constraints induced by lasting accident-related injuries is difficult.
The following is a list of the several types of compensatory damages that are typical in personal injury lawsuits:
- Medical treatment
- Salary
- Loss of property
- Suffering and pain
- Emotional problems
- Enjoyment loss
- Consortium Loss
Moore Law Group LLC’s List When Handling Your Personal Injury Case
We usually calculate the worth of non-economic harm by multiplying the number of medical bills by a figure given the seriousness of the injuries.
If you were disabled in an accident, for instance, we will multiply the medical expenses category by a higher figure than if you merely suffered scrapes and bruises. We then add the worth of any income that one might have lost to get the claim base value.
If we suspect you of any negligence that might have partially contributed to the occurrence of the accident we deduct a certain amount from your settlement that equals the proportion of your mistake.
For example, if we estimate your entire damages at $100,000 and determine that you are 30% to blame for the accident, you will get $70,000.
