Compensation for Personal Injury Claims
Serious accidents can have a lasting effect on a person’s health and well-being. Following an accident, people may be forced to deal with out-of-pocket medical expenses, and may have to live with lasting pain or disabilities. If the accident was caused by the reckless or negligent actions of another person, the injured party may be able to pursue a personal injury claim.
If you have been injured in an accident, it is important to have an experienced personal injury attorney on your side. An attorney can help formulate your case and explain the claims process as it applies to you. The Queens personal injury lawyers of Parker Waichman Alonso, LLP understand how difficult dealing with a serious injury can be. Contact us at 1-888-244-2273 for help with your case.
Personal Injury Compensation
Persons who have been injured in an accident may be eligible for economic (covering financial expenses) and non-economic (covering emotional or health-related losses) damages. Losses that may be compensated include:
- Current and future medical expenses
- Out-of-pocket costs related to the accident
- Pain
- Mental and emotional trauma
- Lost wages
- Rehabilitation costs
In addition, a judge or jury may decide to award punitive damages in cases involving extreme negligence or malice. Punitive damages are added to compensatory damages in order to penalize defendants and reduce the chances that they will commit another offense in the future.
