Compensation You May Be Entitled to Recover in a Mount Vernon Personal Injury Accident

If you were injured in a personal injury incident, you may be wondering about what type of compensation you may be able to receive to get your life back on track after a personal injury. Depending on the circumstances, you might be entitled to compensation for:

Medical Expenses

Medical expenses are often one of the most expensive costs that follow a personal injury. You may be able to receive compensation for:

• Emergency room visits
• Hospital stays
• Surgeries
• Doctor visits
• Medication
• Physical therapy

Lost Income

Under New York’s personal injury laws, you have the right to pursue compensation for your past and future losses. For example, you can pursue compensation for the wages you lost while you were off work, as well as any employment benefits you had to use. Additionally, you can recover compensation for a reduction in your earning capacity if your injuries prevent you from working.

Property Damage

You can also recover compensation for the cost to repair or replace property that was damaged in the accident.

Pain and Suffering

New York’s personal injury laws allow you to pursue compensation for non-economic damages you suffer like:

• Physical pain and discomfort
• Emotional trauma
• Mental suffering
• Psychological trauma
• Loss of enjoyment of life

Wrongful Death Damages

If you lost a loved one because of someone else’s negligence, you may be able to recover wrongful death damages which cover the economic and non-economic losses you suffer, such as:

• Burial costs
• Funeral expenses
• Lost income
• Pain and suffering

Punitive Damages

In very rare circumstances, accident victims may be able to recover punitive damages. These damages are not intended to compensate the accident victim like other types of damages are. Instead, they are meant to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar. They are reserved for cases in which the defendant acted with gross negligence or intentionally.

Factors that May Affect the Value of Your Claim

There are various factors that can affect the potential value of your claim, such as:

• The type and severity of your injuries
• The length of your recovery
• The type of medical treatment you went through
• The number of parties responsible for your accident
• The degree of the defendant’s liability
• Whether you contributed to the accident
• Insurance coverage available

A Mount Vernon personal injury lawyer can evaluate your case and determine the potential value of your claim.
