You May Be Entitled to Compensation
If you have been injured in an Anaheim car accident, there are various types of damages that you may seek. With an Anaheim car accident attorney from Callahan & Blaine, you can rest assured that the firm will do all it can to seek restitution for what you have experienced. Recovering generous damages for our clients is our goal.
You may be entitled to economic damages, non-economic damages, and rarely punitive damages as well.
ECONOMIC DAMAGES
An Anaheim car accident lawyer will fight relentlessly to ensure you the compensation you are due. The following are examples of economic damages you could be entitled to:
- Medical bills: Your medical bills include ambulance trips, emergency room visits, treatments, procedures, X-rays, diagnostic tests, doctor bills, hospital stays, follow-up visits, and surgeries.
- Therapeutic care: This is another economic damage, but a necessary one for healing. It covers psychological, physiological, and occupational therapy.
- Medications and medical devices and equipment: This could mean you are reimbursed for prescriptions, mobility devices, hospital beds, prosthetic limbs, crutches, slings, and neck collars.
- Alterations to the Home: After an accident, it may be necessary to install ramps, grab bars, handrails, and banisters and to make adaptions to the kitchen and bathroom and through the house so that the injured family member still has access to their home.
- Lost wages: When an accident happens, inevitably, the injured parties miss work and therefore miss out on their regular pay while they are recovering.
- Loss of Future Income: This happens when a person can no longer do the job they once held due to their injuries. They can no longer count on the income they once could to take care of themselves in the future.
NON-ECONOMIC DAMAGES
Non-economic damages are more difficult to calculate but are no less important. They include things like the following:
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Loss of consortium
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Loss of educational opportunities
- Scarring and disfigurement
- Loss of reputation
- Humiliation and shame
PUNITIVE DAMAGES
Punitive damages are sometimes awarded to victims of car accidents if the individual who caused the accident acted particularly egregiously or recklessly. When this is the case, the court may offer punitive damages to compensate the victim while punishing the offending party. It is used as a way to deter similar conduct from occurring again.
