Forms of Compensation You May Require
How much compensation do you need to cover your damages that resulted from
your accident? Each claim will be different from the next, and so no two
claims will need exactly the same amount or for the same reasons. With
the help of Attorney Russ Baker, you can get a better idea of how much
compensation you should seek in your claim.
Damages that could be relevant to your own personal injury claim are:
- Initial and emergency medical attention
- Hospitalization for weeks or more
- Ongoing rehabilitative care or therapy
- Lost or missing wages
- Reduced feeling of enjoyment in life due to disability
- Emotional trauma, pain, and suffering
Basic Components of a Personal Injury Claim
If you want to win a fair and maximized compensation amount, your claim
needs to include the three basic components of any claim.
The three components of a valid personal injury claim are:
-
Injury occurred: There must be actual evidence of your injury. If you do not file your claim
right away and wait for your injury to heal, medical records can suffice
to show that the damage has been done. Claims are generally stronger when
filed soon after the accident or incident, however.
-
Injury was caused by negligent party: Perhaps the most difficult part of any personal injury claim, liability
must be established and linked clearly to the negligent party that caused
you harm. Attorney Baker’s investigative skills come in handy when
reviewing your evidence to prove liability does not lie on you.
-
Injury caused considerable damages: You can only collect compensation if compensation is needed. A person who
has suffered a minor injury from a third-party but required no medical
attention and experienced no major inconvenience may not be able to file a claim.
With all three of these components in place, your claim should be viewed
as valid before the court. In case you are not confident that your claim
is legally valid, the Law Office of Russ Baker can be of assistance during a
free initial consultation.
