When you’ve been injured due to the actions or inaction of another person, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. By speaking with an Injury lawyer Bensalem, you can find out if you have a case against the other person or business, and if so what type and amount of compensation you may be able to receive. Some of the types of compensation that may apply in an injury case could be medical bills, car repair bills, loss of work, and pain and suffering.
Medical bills are present for every injury case. These bills could be already received if you have completed your medical care or treatments by the time the case is seen in court. With severe or permanent injuries, the compensation for medical bills may also include future bills your doctor and lawyer foresee for you.
Car repair bills may apply in car accident cases. This can cover the full repair of the car to the condition it was in prior to the accident. If the car is unable to be repaired to its prior condition, the replacement of the car may be covered instead. You will need an estimate of the repairs from a mechanic so that your lawyer can see exactly how much the repairs may cost.
Loss of work may be included in your compensation when you have to miss work due to your injuries. Like medical bills, this depends on the severity of your injuries. You may be able to return to work after a few days or a week, or it can take many months or years before you can return.
Pain and Suffering is another type of compensation you may be able to receive, although the monetary amount from this can differ widely with each case. This is decided by the judge, and is usually extra money to help you recover from the suffering due to the injuries you sustained.
If you have been injured because of another person or business, you may be entitled to some or all of these types of compensation. To find out what you may be entitled to when you take the person to court, you may want to speak with an Injury lawyer Bensalem has to offer, such as Matkoff, Shengold, Burke, and London.
