    What is the Compensation in a Personal Injury Lawsuit

    You may be wondering how much your case is worth. Unfortunately, no one can honestly tell you until the extent of your injuries is clear. For many accident victims, the initial ER visit costs are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to expenses.

    Our seasoned Mississippi personal injury lawyers will take the time to meticulously document your losses.

    Although each case is different, some of the common types of compensation our personal injury lawyer pursues include payment for:

    Medical expenses. This includes anything related to your injuries hospital visits, diagnostic testing such as X-rays and MRIs, surgeries, follow-up doctor visits, medication, etc.

    Future care needs. We will also help you pursue payment for any future treatment or long-term care needs you may have related to your injury. This can include rehabilitative therapy, future surgeries, etc.

    Lost income. Many people are forced to take time off work to recover from their injuries. Our legal team will demand compensation for that lost income.

    Reduced earning potential for the future. If you cannot go back to work or must take a lower-paying job due to your injuries, we will seek payment for that loss. In addition, if you are a veteran, our full-service firm can help you pursue Veteran’s benefits.

    Pain and suffering. Not all damages can be measured in the form of bills or paycheck stubs. However, pain and suffering weighs heavily on most accident victims, and you should be compensated for this loss.

    In the aftermath of an accident, an insurance adjuster for the at-fault party may contact you. The insurance company may offer you a fast settlement, hoping you will take the money and move on. Never accept an initial settlement or sign anything from the insurance company without talking to an experienced personal injury attorney in Jackson, MS.

    At Derek L. Hall, PC, we will review any offer you have received for free and explain your legal options. Our goal is to ensure you and your family are not left with unexpected expenses down the line. A full and fair personal injury settlement offer should take into account your total losses, not just your initial expenses.

    FAQs

    If I was partly to blame for the accident, can I still file a claim?

    Absolutely. A frequent tactic of defendants and their insurance companies is to try to put as much of the blame for the accident on you as they can. If they are successful, this will reduce the amount they have to pay you, but it doesn’t stop you from bringing a claim or recovering compensation. At Derek L. Hall, PC, our dedicated Jackson car accident attorneys and personal injury lawyers will work to prove the other party’s negligence and responsibility while fighting hard to prevent you from being unfairly blamed for any portion of fault that does not belong to you.

    How long do I have to file a claim?

    In most cases, you have up to three years to file a personal injury lawsuit, and after that time, you can be prevented from making a claim. However, depending upon the nature of the injury (car accident, medical malpractice, wrongful death) and the type of defendant (private person, employer, government, or military), the time frame may be calculated differently, and you may have to file a notice of claim within a matter of days after the accident. By contacting an attorney in Jackson as soon as possible after an accident, you can make sure that no important deadlines will be missed and that essential evidence is collected and preserved before it is lost.

    What if I can’t afford to hire an attorney to represent me?

    At Derek L. Hall, PC, we believe that all people are entitled to high-quality representation from an experienced, successful attorney. We offer a free initial consultation, and if we take your case, we can represent you on a contingency fee basis. This means that our fee is contingent on whether we obtain a recovery for you. If we don’t get you any money, then we won’t charge you any fee. Also, we advance all the costs of the litigation, and our fees and costs are taken out of the judgment or settlement, so it won’t cost you any money upfront to pursue your case.

    What kind of compensation can I expect to receive after an injury?

    Personal injury damages generally fall into two categories – economic and non-economic. Economic damages are financial costs you experience such as present and future medical expenses (surgery, hospital stay, doctor visits, X-rays, medications, medical supplies, etc.) and lost income due to time you missed from work after the accident, or if you became disabled and cannot work at the same level, or at all, due to disability. Non-economic damages are meant to compensate you for harm you experienced such as physical pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of quality of life, loss of spousal relations, etc.

    Mississippi also allows juries to award punitive damages in some cases. Punitive damage awards are meant to punish a grossly negligent defendant who causes injury through a willful, wanton, or reckless disregard for safety. Although you must meet a higher standard to prove punitive damages, Derek L. Hall, PC, will pursue punitive damages in all applicable cases.

    The insurance company has already offered to settle my case, so why do I need an attorney?

    It’s no surprise that the insurance company has offered you a settlement. Insurers want to settle the claim as cheaply as possible, and they especially want to get to you before you talk to a car accident attorney or personal injury lawyer to learn about your rights and the value of your claim. They know that when you’ve been hurt, you are likely worried about how you are going to pay your medical bills or make up for the income you’ve lost during the time you’ve missed from work. They know how tempted you will be to take a check that looks big enough to cover your current expenses. But remember that settling your claim by accepting an offer means that you are forever giving up your rights on that claim. If you later find out that your expenses were much greater than you anticipated, you can’t go back and try to get more money from the insurer or the responsible party.

    When you hire Jackson personal injury attorney Derek L. Hall, the insurance companies know better than to offer an unreasonable lowball settlement. We start preparing your case for litigation from the very start, and if a fair settlement cannot be reached that fully compensates you, we are ready and able to take your case to trial. The insurance companies know this and will often do all they can to settle with us and avoid a trial.
