My Personal Injury Case, how much is it worth?

Are you considering filing a Personal Injury Lawsuit because off a Car or Truck Accident,  an Accident at your workplace or for that matter any kind of sustained injury due to someone else negligence? You probably are curious about what your case is worth! The answer comes down to the amount of damages and injuries you have incurred. What have these injuries cost you? Physically, Mentally and Monetarily and in some special incidents or cases whether the defendant's action and conduct deserve additional punishment.

When it comes to personal injury cases, damages are paid to the injured person (also called the plaintiff) or the Family Members of a deceased individual.  The damages are paid by the individual  (or their Insurance Company) or Company who was found liable for the accident(also called the defendant or their Insurer). Damages can be awarded after the smoke has settled, i.e. after the negotiations between the parties are done and the legally responsible party for the accident (defendant or insurer) has agreed to settle or is ordered by a judge or jury in a court of law.

Compensation in a Personal Injury Case

There are two types of damages that may be awarded for a personal injury case: compensatory damages and punitive damages.

Compensatory damages are meant to make the victim whole again with respect to financial expenses from an injury. Naturally this means that both current and future medical expenses related to the injury are fully covered, but additional expenses are considered as well. Damaged property, anything from vehicles to clothes, will be replaced at fair market value. Loss of wages is also taken into account not simply for time off work after the accident, but if any future wages may be affected because of the injury sustained, then this should be factored into the settlement. Further considerations for compensation include pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment, and loss of consortium. Although more subjective, these areas consider the impact of the injury on the victim’s future. If the stress of the accident causes anxiety or sleep loss this is considered emotional distress and should be factored in the settlement. If the injury impacted the victim’s ability to pursue previous hobbies, this effects his or her enjoyment and, once again, compensation is due. Finally, many states recognize the potential impact of an injury on a relationship with one’s spouse. Perhaps this injury has impacted the victim’s sexual relationship. State laws recognize this “loss of consortium” as a valid form of compensation as well.

The courts can’t rewind time and make it is as though an accident never happened, but they can factor in every area of the injury and apply monetary compensation. They can also send a message to negligible companies to help make sure such an accident never happens again. This is often done through awarding punitive damages.

If the defendant’s conduct resulted in the accident is deemed highly careless, the court may decide to make the defendant’s monetary punishment run deeper by awarding the victim punitive damages. Punitive damages are added on top of compensatory damages. They are not earned by the victim but awarded instead to make a point, hitting the defendant’s pockets that much harder in order to encourage a change in behavior. But this does not necessarily happen by it self, you need a great Lytle Personal Injury Lawyers to achieve that.

Some states, including Texas, have placed caps on punitive damage awards in personal injury cases, so it is important to have a legally correct jury charge requested and prepared for your civil case. This helps ensure that if punitive damages are awarded they will not be reversed or reduced in the event of an appeal.

Assessing Damages When Fault is Shared

If a personal injury case is even partially the fault of the injured person, this will be reflected in the amount of damages awarded. A share in the blame for an accident is called comparative negligence or contributory negligence. If both the plaintiff and defendant share some degree of negligence, a jury will assign fault by percentages. If the defendant proves the contributory negligence claim, the plaintiff may be barred from recovering damages or his damages may be reduced to reflect his role in the injury. In other words, the plaintiff may find his damages reduced by his portion of fault.

Another reason an injured victim could see a decrease in the financial damages awarded, is if he or she fails to act after the injury. For example, if medical attention is needed but not sought and this delay increases the severity of the injury, the injured party will be considered to blame. This failure to mitigate damages, required by the law to lesson costs following an injury, can result in a reduced claim.

So long as a plaintiff acts in a reasonable timeframe and is not held to be fifty percent accountable or more, then he or she will qualify for damages in a personal injury claim in states that recognize comparative fault. Injured victims will want to contact an attorney to make sure the insurance agency or responsible party pays out on their percentage of the damages.
