What Can You Receive In A Serious Injury Case?
If you have a severe injury due to someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to damages such as:
- Emergency room bills
- Rehabilitation
- Future medical care
- Lost wages
- Loss of earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of enjoyment of life
In some claims, the court awards extra punitive damages if the defendant’s actions involved extreme recklessness or deliberate misconduct.
Why Is It Important To Seek A Second Opinion From A Doctor?
Obtaining a second medical opinion is important for both your health and your legal claim. A secondary evaluation helps to make sure that you have accurate diagnoses for your injuries. From a legal standpoint, insurance companies frequently try to downplay severe injuries. A second opinion from an independent provider can offer corroborating medical evidence for your claim.
Why Is It Important To File A Claim Quickly?
Personal injury claims have deadlines called statutes of limitations. In Pennsylvania and New Jersey, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of your injury. If you miss the cutoff, you lose your right to recover compensation. Acting quickly allows your legal team to gather evidence before it vanishes, such as surveillance footage, debris and black-box data.
