Frequently Asked Questions

You might need a personal injury attorney for several reasons if you have been involved in an accident or incident that resulted in injuries.

If you have suffered severe injuries that require extensive medical treatment, long-term rehabilitation, or have resulted in permanent disability, a personal injury attorney can help ensure you receive proper compensation for your current and future medical expenses, loss of earning capacity, and other damages.
If there is a dispute regarding who is at fault for the accident or incident, a personal injury attorney can investigate the circumstances, gather evidence, interview witnesses, and reconstruct the events to establish liability.
Dealing with the aftermath of an accident or incident can be overwhelming, especially when you are recovering from injuries. Hiring a personal injury attorney allows you to focus on your recovery while they handle the legal aspects of your case.

001

Should I file a lawsuit?

Filing a personal injury lawsuit allows you to seek compensation for your injuries, damages, and losses resulting from an accident or incident. Compensation may cover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, property damage, and other relevant costs. By filing a lawsuit, you can pursue fair and adequate compensation for the harm you have suffered. This also provides an opportunity to establish liability and hold the responsible party accountable for their actions or negligence. Through the legal process, evidence can be presented, witnesses can testify, and experts can provide opinions to establish who was at fault for the accident. This can be crucial in cases where there is a dispute regarding liability.

Personal Injury Damages

Personal injury damages refer to the financial compensation awarded to a plaintiff (injured party) in a personal injury lawsuit. These damages are intended to provide monetary relief for the losses and harm suffered as a result of the defendant’s negligence or wrongdoing. It is advisable to consult with a personal injury attorney who can guide you on the specific documentation requirements and ensure you have a strong case for recovering damages. Let a Rutter Mills personal injury attorney help you get the relief you deserve.

Types of Personal Injury Damages

Economic Damages: These damages are meant to compensate for the quantifiable financial losses incurred due to the injury. They may include medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages (both past and future), property damage, and other out-of-pocket expenses directly related to the injury.
Non-Economic Damages: Non-economic damages are subjective and aim to compensate for intangible losses. These may include pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, loss of consortium (impact on personal relationships), and other similar damages that are difficult to quantify.
Punitive Damages: In rare cases involving egregious conduct, punitive damages may be awarded. These damages are not meant to compensate the plaintiff but rather to punish the defendant and deter similar conduct in the future.

Importance of Keeping a Record of Damages

Keeping a thorough record of your damages is crucial for supporting your claim. This includes gathering and organizing documents such as medical bills, invoices, receipts, wage statements, and any other relevant financial records. These documents serve as evidence to substantiate your claimed economic damages.

By maintaining a record of your damages, you can demonstrate the extent of your injuries, the financial impact on your life, and the non-economic harm you have experienced. This can help establish the value of your claim and strengthen your position during negotiations or in court.

Keeping detailed records ensures accuracy and consistency when providing information about your damages. It helps you recall specific details, dates, and expenses related to your injury, preventing discrepancies or inconsistencies that may weaken your case.

Personal injury damages may include future expenses such as ongoing medical treatment, rehabilitation, or long-term care. By maintaining a record of your current damages, you can better anticipate and document potential future expenses that may arise as a result of your injury.

In many personal injury cases, settlement negotiations occur before reaching trial. Having organized records of your damages allows you to present a clear and persuasive case to the opposing party or their insurance company. It demonstrates the validity and value of your claim, increasing the likelihood of a fair settlement offer.

If your case goes to trial, a well-documented record of damages becomes essential. It provides your attorney with the necessary evidence to present to the court, expert witnesses, and the jury, helping to establish the extent of your injuries and the financial losses you have incurred.

Thank you to my Attorney - Eric Porcaro and paralegal Kamilah White for doing such a stellar job on my case! It was a real pleasure working with this team!

Donald D.

Mr. Young and his team exceeded my expectations in the way they handled the case and kept me informed. They got involved with my medical billing issues from the accident and a workman's comp claim. They have resolved the issues with workman's comp. I would whole-heartedly recommend this firm.

Quinton B.

Absolutely amazing! I recommend Georgina and Morgan for all legal needs. They are attentive, in depth, and have your best interest at hand and put you first!

I had and still do have the most valuable, professional and friendly relationship with Selena Paszkiewicz and Mr. Lotkin. It was a bit rough waiting for the case to conclude because of covid; however, it was DEFINITELY worth the wait and the experience. Not to mention how, as a 20 year plus employment. Selena was so gracious as to assist me in paralegal questions, as I've just graduated from studying law as a paralegal. Upon the case being concluded, she has still promised I could always call for advice and paralegal help. I'm going to grow up to be just like her (lol). Rutter Mills attorneys and paralegals, especially Mr. Lotkin and Selena Paszkiewicz, you're the best ever. PLEASE PLEASE keep doing what you love. When you do what you're meant for and with the joy you both have in it, it's not a job or work... it's a career for life!!!
