Financial Compensation

I’ll often get asked from my clients in Raleigh what what types of financial compensation they would be entitled to in a personal injury claim. That’s a very good question, because there are different recoveries that you can have when involved in a personal injury. For example, you are entitled  to recover for your medical expenses. Those include: past medical expenses that you have already incurred, and also will include future medical expenses for any type of treatment or ongoing care you will need as a result of the accident. The other compensation that you are entitled to, is financial compensation in terms of loss wages if you’ve missed any time from work, if you are  no longer able to return back to work due to an injury – then we would hire an economist to do a wage evaluation to determine your future lost wages. In addition, you are entitled to compensation for pain and suffering, permanent injury, – as far as permanent injuries, the doctor may sign a permanent-partial disability rating which will entitle you to compensation for those permanent injuries. The last types of compensations that you could be rewarded, are what’s called mileage to and from the doctor, – I call those the intangibles, and then lastly, you would be entitled to compensation or your spouse may be entitled to compensation for loss of consortium or loss of companionship if the injury affected that relationship.
