Vehicle accident damages
A critical role of a Suffolk car accident attorney is to identify the damages which are potentially available in a case. When you prevail at trial on a car accident claim, the jury will award you damages based on the facts of your crash. The more severe it is, the higher the damages will be.
Two primary types of damages are involved in an injury lawsuit: economic and non-economic. Economic damages are tangible and have a fixed value. Evidence typically exists which can establish their value, like medical bills.
Non-economic damages are different in that they do not have an inherent value. In other words, the subjective nature of these injuries makes it challenging to put a fixed value on them. Pain and suffering is the most common example.
Car Accident Injuries
The most serious of these injuries can lead to long-term disability or even death. Common examples include:
- Cuts, bruises, and broken bones
- Head injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries, including concussions
- Neck injuries, including whiplash
- Eye injuries
- Dental damage
- Burns
- Vehicle property damage
- Internal bleeding
Don’t Fight Insurance Alone
The other driver’s insurance will do everything they can to either come to a low settlement or disqualify you from compensation entirely through Virginia’s contributory negligence rule. The state follows a rule that means, even if you were found the slightest bit responsible for the accident you will not be able to get any sort of compensation. With a Rutter Mills Suffolk car accident lawyer, you will be protected from their predatory tactics and ensure your financial future.
“These insurance companies are bullies, and they want to push around the little guy. What’s nice about Rutter Mills is insurance knows they can’t push our clients around and have to treat our clients fairly.” – Will Nexsen, Personal Injury Attorney
