Claims for injuries are carefully assessed to determine the amount that will be sought from an insurance company or in civil court. There are two types of damages that are pursued, economic and non-economic. The economic damages that will be evaluated are the financial damages to the victim. These include medical bills, rehabilitation, loss of income from work, and future predicted financial losses. Very serious injuries may require years of medical care or nursing care, costs for medical equipment, and the individual may be unable to function in their profession, or at all. All of these costs are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Non-economic damages are those damages that are more personal ? the pain and suffering experienced by the victim. If you or a loved one was injured, you want to have a full case evaluation before proceeding with any discussion with an insurance company.
