Accidents happen every day in the Palmetto, Georgia area. Whether you are driving down Highway 29, going for a bike ride, or hopping on a MARTA bus, the risk of accidents and injuries is always there. Some accidents are relatively minor, and people affected come away with minor scrapes and bruises, but many others are serious enough for the victims to suffer concerning and sometimes life-changing injuries.
Personal injury law exists to provide a legal means for those who have been injured to seek and obtain compensation for their injuries from parties that were negligent in causing the accident that resulted in the injuries. Seeking and obtaining compensation requires going through a legal process, which starts with the victim filing a personal injury claim against the insurer of the person or entity that was to blame for the accident.
If you have been the victim of an accident caused by the negligent action or inaction of someone else or entity, and you have suffered injuries because of it, you may have a personal injury claim that can be successfully pursued to get you monetary compensation for your injuries. This compensation is known by the legal term “damages.” There are two types of damages you can obtain once all the other requirements are met, and these are economic damages and non-economic damages.
Economic damages are a sum of money you can be awarded as compensation to cover money you have spent or will spend in the future because of the accident, and this includes:
Non-economic damages are compensation for anything that does not fall in the economic damages category. Non-economic damages are subjective, and the accident victim cannot prove with documentation what the loss is, but it is still a very real and compensable loss. In other words, there is no known method to ascertain whether what the victim says is true, but a judge or jury must decide whether the victim deserves compensation for the damage and, if so, how much.
Non-economic damages include the following:
You always want an experienced Palmetto personal injury lawyer calculating your non-economic damages because they are often a source of dispute in an injury insurance claim. You do not want to leave any money you deserve on the table.
