Types of Financial Compensation for Injuries

Financial Compensation

If somebody else is liable for your catastrophic injuries, for example, you may be entitled to financial compensation for the following types of damages. Each case is unique, and the compensation available depends on the facts and circumstances of your accident.

Types of Damages

  • Reduction of earning potential — financial compensation for the reduction of your earning potential because of an injury that impacts your ability to work.
  • Pain and suffering — monetary compensation for physical pain and suffering as a result of your injury.
  • Future pain and suffering — financial compensation for physical pain that you will suffer in the future as a result of your injury.
  • Emotional distress — monetary compensation for emotional damages and psychological pain as a result of your injury.
  • Medical expenses — compensation for past and future medical costs related to your injury.
  • Lost wages — compensation for income lost because of your injury.
  • Loss of consortium — compensation for the impact of your injury on your relationship with your spouse or family.
  • Wrongful death damages — damages for the wrongful death of a loved one.
  • Punitive damages — damages that may be awarded to punish particularly wrongful conduct.
  • Out-of-pocket expenses — reimbursement for costs you paid because of the accident.
  • Permanent disability — damages as a result of a permanent disability caused by the accident.

How Our Fees Work

Our attorneys work on a contingency fee. In other words, our legal fee is a percentage of the financial compensation that we secure for clients. You pay nothing upfront and we get paid if we secure financial compensation for you, such as via verdict or settlement.
