If the lawsuit is a viable claim, your Personal Injury attorney will evaluate all aspects of the claim to determine the nature and extent of the damages caused by a negligent party. Damages in a Personal Injury lawsuit include many variables related to the injury such as medical expenses, lost income, permanent physical disability or disfigurement, emotional damages (such as stress, embarrassment, depression and other conditions), damage to property, and damages for the pain and suffering caused by the defendant. The intent of Personal Injury law is to place you back in the position you would have been in but for the injury and to compensate you for damages that are likely to be incurred into the future.
