A: The purpose of damages in a personal injury lawsuit is to make it seem as if the victim never sustained the injury. To accomplish this, plaintiffs are eligible to recover for both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages include recovery for past and future medical expenses, past and future lost wages, and any other expenses you had to incur because of your injury, while non-economic damages include recovery for the pain and suffering you endured as a result of your injury.
A: How much your case might be worth is highly dependent on the specific injuries you sustained and the particular circumstances of your case. We offer a free initial consultation to all clients, and when you come in to our office to discuss the case with us, we can evaluate the facts of your claim and offer a preliminary estimate about the recovery we might be able to obtain for you.
A: Even if you have no health insurance, there are still ways you can obtain medical care without having to pay any out-of-pocket expenses. Consult with your car insurance provider, as your auto insurance policy might include bodily injury coverage. If you have uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, your medical expenses are likely covered even if the person who caused your accident has no insurance coverage. In addition, we are often able to obtain a letter of protection, which is a guarantee to a doctor that his or her costs will be paid out of any settlement or verdict we reach on your behalf.
If you or a loved one has suffered an injury, it is important to contact us as soon as possible so that we can preserve any relevant evidence and begin an investigation into your case. For a free initial consultation, contact the Zeb Little Law Firm, LLC today.
