FAQ: A. Yes. You are entitled to damages for loss of or impaired “enjoyment of life.” What this means is that if, because of the accident, you are no longer able to participate in activities that you enjoyed, the person must compensate you fairly for these damages.

FAQ: A. Yes. Pain and suffering damages are fully compensable. They are classified as “non-economic” damages, as there is no precise, documented monetary loss you can show on a flow chart or receipt. Often the amount for pain and suffering exceeds the cost of medical treatment for your injuries.

FAQ: A. If you have run your own business for more than one year, you are entitled to be compensated for your monetary losses due to your inability to work. If you were working at your own business for less than a year, you typically cannot recover for lost wages, as the law considers this to be an insufficient record, and determining an amount would be speculative. If you’ve run your own business for several years, and your gross receipts have increased but you don’t show much profit due to substantial expenses and reinvestment into the business, the court will take this into account. Business valuation experts can determine your loss compared to what you could have expected to earn had you not been injured.

FAQ: A. There are two basic categories of monetary compensation, or damages, you can recover: economic damages and non-economic damages. Economic damages consist of money you have paid or will pay out-of-pocket, such as certain medical expenses and lost wages. Non-economic damages are for your pain and suffering and other “intangible” losses that aren’t easily priced. Punitive damages can be recovered in cases of egregious negligence, or in which the other party deliberately or intentionally injured you, as in an assault and battery.

FAQ: Nothing. Under a contingency fee arrangement, you only pay if you win, and if you lose, the attorney swallows all the legal fees and you don’t pay a dime.

Insurance adjusters may call you to obtain information to use against you in a trial or settlement. They may offer to pay your medical bills, which only means they believe they are liable, and trying to convince you to for a fraction of the money you are rightfully owed. Do not speak with the insurance company or attorney for the other driver. Refer the adjuster to your insurance company or your TorkLaw attorney.

The most important thing is to take care of yourself. If you need immediate care, call 911. Do not refuse medical attention. Even if you don’t think you are hurt, you may want to see your doctor after the accident, and do what s/he tells you. At the accident scene, call the police and your insurance company. If you can, gather as much evidence, including photographs, video, documents, etc. If you are impaired, ask a friend or family member to help you do this. Do not admit fault. Stay calm and be civil to the other driver. It’s fine to ask if they are OK, or even to offer assistance if needed, but refrain from using language like, “I’m sorry,” or “It was my fault.” Do not discuss the accident or give a statement to the insurance company or attorney for the other driver. Instruct them to call your insurance company or your attorney. Do not post anything on social media about your accident. What you say can be used against you. Call an attorney at TorkLaw to discuss your claim.

FAQ: Be completely honest‚ even if some of the facts are not favorable to you. This will help provide an accurate estimation of your chances of winning. And, it will not help your case to claim something that isn’t true, as the facts usually come out eventually. Be on time and prepared for appointments with all relevant information or documentation. Take your attorney’s advice. Be patient; legal matters require time and research; and no lawyer can guarantee a particular outcome.

FAQ: Not necessarily. We are able to settle most personal injury claims with the insurance company. However, if no settlement can be reached with the other party, the case may go to trial.

FAQ: There are four elements to determine if personal injury claim exists: The defendant, or “at-fault” person had a duty to exercise reasonable care to avoid hurting others or causing an accident. The defendant did not behave in a manner to demonstrate care. The defendant’s actions were the proximate cause of the accident. The injury caused actual damages.

FAQ: Your case’s worth is dependent on the extent and types of damages to which you are entitled; that is, the losses or expenses you incurred because of the accident. These may include: Medical bills (doctor, hospital, surgery, diagnostics, therapy, prescriptions, etc.) Lost wages Pain and suffering Physical disability, disfigurement, or permanent scars Emotional trauma or mental anguish Loss of enjoyment of life Mental disability Property damage Any new expenses (household help, taxi/rideshare costs, etc.)

FAQ: Dealing with a serious injury or the senseless loss of a loved one in an accident, can be exhausting, intimidating, and confusing. You may not be aware of all your legal rights, or potential sources of income. Insurance companies have nearly unlimited resources to invest in denying or minimizing your claim. A personal injury attorney can help investigate your claim and advocate for your rights so that you receive the maximum amount to which you’re entitled. They will also investigate all sources of income, some of which you may not even be aware. An Insurance Research Council study indicates that when you hire a lawyer for your personal injury case, you recover much more than you would on your own, even after the legal fees.
