After you have been serious injured, you’re likely to suffer a lot of financial loss. Here are the car accident economic damages we can help you recover.
Medical Bills
If you are in a wreck and you are not at fault, the other person who is at fault will eventually pay for your medical bills. They might not do it right away because the insurance company controls the money and when it comes to you. Do not delay going to the doctor or getting medical treatment because you don’t know who’s going to pay for it. If you contact a lawyer and talk to them about the case, they can tell you very quickly if there’s going to be medical coverage for you to seek medical treatment.
Many physical therapists and chiropractors will wait until the case is settled before they ask for your medical bills, so they won’t tell you every time you come in, “We can’t see you anymore until you pay.” Some doctors won’t even see you if it’s a car wreck case. If you contact an attorney, they’ll be able to direct you to physicians that will be able to work with you and get your medical bills paid when the case is settled. Please seek medical treatment as soon as you feel you need it. Symptoms take time to manifest themselves, and if you think you’re not getting better, get to a doctor immediately and contact a lawyer about helping you get your medical bills paid.
Lost Wages
Lost wages are something that people ask me about the very first time they see me. Most people who work every day, get paid by the hour, their paycheck is important to them. If you’re injured and you can’t work for two weeks, and then you have to go to a doctor, and you miss a half a day of work every week, it adds up quickly. What we do is we keep track of your hours that you are out of the office, and the time you take off to go to the doctor, and the mileage on your car that it takes to go to the doctor. You Just need to keep track of all your hours, and then we will multiply that by your wage and we’ll make that as one of your claims. I do not believe that will be taxable when you get your settlement.
It’s pretty simple if you’re a wage-earner; it’s a little more difficult if you’re self-employed. You need to keep track of jobs you lost or opportunities you missed because you were unable to give estimates or go bid on a job. If you had to hire someone to do your work while you were gone, you can be reimbursed for the amount of money it took to pay someone to finish your jobs that you had.
