Find out what types and amounts of compensation you can recover for a negligence-based accident. We want to hear about your accident directly from you, not just by reviewing documents. Contact our consultation team at The Fitch Law Firm LLC to learn how our personal injury lawyers serving Vandalia will fight for your financial recovery.
Medical Bills and Additional Economic Damages
The financial impact of an accident begins immediately, starting with emergency medical care at the scene. Damages you can recover for treating your injuries can also include prescription and OTC medications, emergency room care, hospital admissions, and assistive medical devices.
Additional economic damages can include current loss of income, future loss of income and the ability to earn, property damage, destruction, or diminished property value.
Pain and Suffering and Additional Non-Economic Damages
The pain and suffering portion of your injury claim is assessed based on the severity of your injuries and the rigors of your recovery process. Our Vandalia personal injury attorneys will request these additional non-economic damages:
- Lasting impairments
- Physical disfigurement
- Mental anguish
- Emotional distress
- Diminished quality of life
The evidence that supports these intangible damages can be hard to understand on your own. Our legal team will collect it for you and fight for fair compensation on your behalf.
Wrongful Death Damages for Surviving Vandalia Families
We know nothing could atone for your family’s loss. We also know the financial havoc a sudden loss can create. Our Vandalia wrongful death lawyers will request the following compensation for your family:
- Funeral, cremation, and burial
- Loss of financial contributions
- Loss of household contributions
- Loss of consortium and guidance
- Loss of companionship and support
We fight hard to clarify wrongful death laws, which family members can recover damages, and to obtain favorable compensation for your family.
