1) Filing a Case
Most car accident cases must be filed in a limited period, usually between two and six months from when you were injured. Most states have a statute of limitations that requires you to file your case within that time frame. If your state doesn’t have one, then you can file as long as it takes for your injuries to heal completely and clearly. If you are unsure whether there is a time limit on filing, it is best to speak with an attorney right away.
2) Medical Bills
In addition to injury-related expenses, you can expect your medical bills from the accident will cost thousands of dollars. If you’re injured in an accident, your health insurance may help cover these expenses. But if you don’t have health insurance—or if your insurance doesn’t pay for everything—you can expect that you will be responsible for paying most of your medical bills on your own.
3) Future Damages
Compensation for future medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering can be estimated by determining how much an individual is expected to earn over their lifetime. To do so, actuaries will use information regarding your age, sex, occupation and income. This allows them to calculate how much money you are expected to earn in your lifetime in addition to any financial contributions that you may provide, such as retirement funds or Social Security payments.
4) Personal Injury Attorney Compensation
When you hire an attorney for your accident, they will work on your behalf to seek compensation from any party that could be responsible for your injuries. There are two categories of compensation in Florida: economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages refer to out-of-pocket expenses such as medical bills and lost wages. Non-economic damages include pain and suffering, emotional distress, physical impairment, disfigurement and loss of enjoyment in life. Insurance companies often play hardball with clients who claim personal injury; they’ll often offer less than you deserve and ask that you take it or leave it. Because they can afford to fight long legal battles than individuals can, they’re more likely to drag things out until people run out of money.
