Medical and Related Expenses
Like many accidents, spinal cord injuries will require some measure of medical assistance. After receiving healthcare, you’ll probably receive numerous medical bills to pay. You can get compensation for them and any related bills, like the costs for hospital stays, physical therapy, assistive care, and medical devices.
Other Financial Damages
There may be many other damages you can receive compensation for, such as lost wages, a loss in earning potential, and the costs of renovating your home or vehicle to accommodate your spinal cord injury.
Your lawyer will collect proof of the value of your financial damages, like your medical bills. Collecting evidence for your case, such as a statement from a medical professional, may help establish the value of your damages as well. Any evidence you might have can help your lawyer build a case.
With that evidence, we can determine the fair value of your case for you. Our team can also attribute an accurate monetary value to your intangible damages, like your physical pain and suffering. Knowing this value and having the evidence to support it will help us to recover the actual monetary value of your damages.
How Can a Fresno Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer Help You Recover Your Damages?
There’s a lot a lawyer from our firm can do to help you get your compensation. For one, your lawyer can help you list your damages for the insurance company or a judge. You may have certain damages we haven’t mentioned above, and your lawyer can identify them and include them in your claim or lawsuit. Your lawyer can also refer to experts, like a medical expert, who can help to identify your damages.
Your Lawyer Will Defend the Legitimacy of Your Damages
Once your lawyer has presented your case to the liable parties, your lawyer can also negotiate for a fair settlement with them. Negotiations are tricky, especially when the other party may diminish the value of your case in order to reduce the payout. Your lawyer can defend against such tactics and support the legitimacy of your damages.
Sometimes, negotiations fail. Some insurers may simply refuse to settle a case fairly. If this happens with your case, your lawyer can take the liable parties to court. In court, your lawyer will use the evidence they have collected and fight for a fair verdict from a jury.
