Medical expenses

The business or individual who is responsible for your injuries is liable to pay your medical expenses. These are known as "damages." But they don't have to pay these expenses on a regular basis.

Damages for pain and Suffering

As any accident victim knows the pain and suffering of accident victims is one of the hardest elements to quantify when it comes to compensation for injuries. These are damages incurred for the emotional and physical trauma caused by your injuries, and they are different than costs like medical bills or lost wages.

Lawyers and insurance adjusters can employ two different strategies to calculate pain and suffer damages in an injury case. One of the methods is called the multiplier method, where the total value of your economic losses is added to an amount that typically ranges between one and five for each day you experience pain and suffering from your injury.

Another method of measuring the amount of suffering and pain is by simply awarding a fixed amount per day that you suffer due to your injury. This is sometimes referred to as the per diem method. In both types of calculations it is important to have medical experts be able to testify about the degree of pain and how that has affected your ability to work and socialize, to engage in hobbies, and complete household chores. In addition, it's beneficial to keep personal journals and testimonials from friends and family members who can testify to your emotional stress.

Videos and photos can prove extremely beneficial in demonstrating the extent of your injuries to a jury. They can help them understand the severity of your injuries and could increase the amount of the money you receive as a damages award.

Damages for emotional distress

That's why it's important that victims of injuries document every single moment of pain and suffering. They should keep a record of their emotions, and be sure to share it with their lawyer to ensure that their lawyer can present the most complete and accurate information to an insurance adjuster or in trial.

Physical symptoms of emotional distress are simpler to identify. Depression can be characterized by physical symptoms such as headaches, cognitive impairments, and ulcers. The duration of time a victim has suffered from these symptoms is crucial. The longer the victim has been suffering from these symptoms, the more credible it is. In addition to these aspects the testimony of a victim and the report of a psychologist or a doctor can be reliable pieces of evidence in an emotional distress case.

The calculation of damages for emotional distress is comparable to that of medical expenses or loss of income. Lawyers collect invoices, receipts and statements from doctors and insurance companies and calculate the cost that have already been incurred as well as the way they will continue to be paid in the future. The information is then presented to a judge and jury who determine the amount of compensation to be paid to the victim for emotional distress.
