Damages for Medical Bills
When you are injured as a result of someone else's carelessness or wrongful act, you are legally entitled to be compensated for any medical expenses you have to pay for the treatment of your injury. This can include actual medical treatment, physical therapy, medication, psychiatric treatment, and any other medical expense that may result from your personal injury. Serving Arizona, Missouri, and Kansas, our personal injury law firm can help you determine what damages you may be able to collect for your medical expenses.
Damages for Lost Wages
A serious personal injury can prevent you from working as you recover. The permanent effects of the injury may even render you unable to do the work that you had been doing. Under personal injury law, you are entitled to recover damages for the money that you will lose as a result of your inability to work. If your injuries will limit your ability to work for your entire life, the amount recovered for lost wages can be quite substantial.
Damages for Pain and Suffering
Major injuries can result in significant pain and discomfort, both physical and emotional. Financial compensation may be granted for physical pain and mental suffering that you experience. While this may be hard to quantify, personal injury lawyers Dr. Sam Cullan and Dr. Gene Cullan use their medical and legal knowledge to explain, either in negotiations or in the courtroom, the pain and anguish that afflicts you.
Punitive Damages
Punitive damages are awarded to you not as compensation for your personal injury, but rather as a punishment to the person or group that caused it. If a company was grossly or willfully negligent and you or someone you love was injured due to that negligence, the court may require that the defendants pay punitive damages as a penalty for their flagrant disregard for your safety and well-being.
