What damages can a personal injury lawyer help me recover after a motor vehicle accident?
The potential compensation you could receive from a car accident falls into two categories, monetary and non-monetary losses.
Monetary Losses
This includes past, present, and future expenses related to medical care, property damage, and lost wages.
This also includes payment(s) for such things as the need for durable medical equipment and modifying your home or vehicle to accommodate your new physical situation. If you’re unable to return to work or must work part-time or at a less demanding position, the jury would determine your lifetime lost wages and set your award accordingly.
Non-Monetary Losses
You may also be eligible to receive one or more types of compensation for non-monetary losses. This includes such things as pain and suffering associated with the accident, loss of enjoyment of life because you can no longer pursue hobbies, and post-traumatic stress disorder caused by reliving the accident.
Punitive Damages
Lastly, a jury may award punitive damages as well, however, they reserve this for situations when the defendant acted in a reckless manner that showed a complete disregard for the safety of others.
How does no-fault insurance affect my MVA claim?
You may not be aware that New York is a no-fault state, which means you must first file a claim through your own insurance company regardless of who caused the accident.
However, the state still allows people to file personal injury claims in cases of severe injury or when they receive inadequate compensation from their insurance provider.
Our New York City truck accident attorneys will carefully evaluate your case and give you an honest answer as to whether you should follow through with filing a personal injury lawsuit.
