What Must You Prove to Recover Compensation in a Personal Injury Lawsuit?

Though you can always seek damages when someone else’s intentional acts cause you injury or loss, most personal injury claims are based on the legal principle of negligence. To prove negligence, you must show that:

• The defendant (person from whom you seek compensation) failed to act as a reasonable person would have under the circumstances
• The failure to act reasonably caused an accident or illness
• You suffered actual losses as a consequence of the accident or illness

What Types of Damages Are Typically Available in a Springfield Personal Injury Case?

When the carelessness or negligence of another person causes an accident, you have a right to seek full and fair compensation for any loss or injury, including:

• Any lost wages or income resulting from your injuries
• The physical and mental pain and suffering caused by your injuries
• Any unreimbursed medical expenses related to the accident
• Your loss of enjoyment of life
• Your loss of consortium or companionship
• Any damage to or loss of property stemming from the accident

How Much Can You Expect to Recover in a Personal Injury Claim?

Some of the damages will be easy to calculate, but certain losses can be somewhat subjective. Certain “economic losses,” such as wages and income, medical expenses and property loss, are usually supported by documentation. Other more speculative (or “non-economic”) damages, such as pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and loss of companionship/consortium, are far more difficult to assess. Many courts simply calculate the amount of economic losses and multiply if by a factor of 1 to 5 to determine non-economic losses.

What Types of Injuries Are Typically Covered by a Personal Injury Claim?

In a personal injury lawsuit, you can pursue compensation for any type of injury, from sprains, strains, muscle pulls, joint injury and connective tissue damage to serious and catastrophic loss, such as:

• Traumatic brain injury, including concussion
• Spinal cord trauma, such as herniated or bulging discs, nerve impingements or vertebrae damage
• Broken bones or fractures
• Permanent scarring or disfigurement, including road rash
• Paraplegia, tetraplegia or quadriplegia
• Burns of any kind
• Amputation or loss of limb

After the accidental or wrongful death of a family member, you can also file a personal injury claim, seeking damages for loss of support, loss of guidance and comfort, loss of services, and funeral/burial expenses.
