The aftermath of a personal injury often brings significant financial burdens, including medical bills and lost wages. These are a few of the components of what is known as economic damages in Connecticut. Certain damages such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, things you can’t anymore or do with pain are some of the components of what is known as non-economic damages.
Factors to consider:
Establishing Liability and Negligence: Proving the other party’s fault is paramount. Gathering evidence, such as witness statements and accident reports, helps establish a clear link to prove liability.
Severity of Injuries: The extent of your injuries greatly impacts compensation. Detailed medical records and expert opinions are vital in demonstrating the seriousness of your injuries.
Accurate Documentation of Medical Expenses: Preserving all medical bills related to your injury is essential. This includes expenses for surgeries, medications, and ongoing treatments.
Consideration of Lost Income and Future Earnings: If your injury affects your ability to work, past and future lost income should be factored into your compensation claim.
Quantifying Pain and Suffering: Subjective factors like emotional distress and physical pain are challenging to quantify but crucial in determining compensation. A skilled attorney can help build a compelling case for this.
