If you can satisfy all of the legal elements of your personal injury case, you may be entitled to monetary compensation. This monetary compensation comes in the form of damages. For example, you may receive compensation for the cost of all of your medical treatment, medical procedures, and physical therapy. If your injuries are so severe that you had to miss time from work, you may recover compensation for all of your lost wages. Finally, you can pursue compensation for all out-of-pocket expenses related to the accident and your personal injuries.
In addition to these economic damages, you may also pursue non-economic damages resulting from your accident and personal injuries. For instance, you may seek compensation for your inconvenience, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and mental anguish. You may also be eligible to recover money damages for loss of family support or spousal companionship.
