Compensation You Can Receive

​

When filing a personal injury case, injured plaintiffs typically want to know what type of compensation or recovery they will be able to receive. The value of your case is determined by the “damages” – physical, monetarily, mental, and emotional injuries – you have had to carry.

​

The types of damages that can be awarded to you include but are not limited to:

​

Medical Expenses – Compensation for the costs of past and future medical care related to the personal injury.

​

Loss of Earnings – Loss of earnings may cover what you have lost financially as a result of being out of work as well as any reduction in wages if you can no longer perform your job or must move into a lower-paying position.

​

Pain and Suffering – Compensation for the discomfort of having gone through the accident and the ongoing effects.

​

Emotional Distress/Mental Anguish – These types of damages are provided to the plaintiff if the accident was very serious and traumatic. If the injury causes a psychological effect on the injured party, compensation is awarded.

​

Physical Impairment – Compensation paid to victims of accidents who are no longer able to enjoy day-to-day physical activities, hobbies, or exercise.

​

Disfigurement – These damages are paid out when the personal injury causes a major alteration to your physical appearance and inhibits your ability to live a “normal life.”

​

Loss of Consortium – If personal relationships – generally the spouse and children of the injured party – are negatively affected by the injury then loss of consortium damages may be considered.

​

Punitive Damages – These are intended as a punishment and deterrent for future improper behavior. Most states have limitations on punitive damages in personal injury cases.

​

The Brownsville personal injury attorneys at Aguirre Law Group will fight to help you obtain all the compensation that is possible.
