Personal Injury Damages
The most significant issue in a personal injury claim is the issue of damages. Obtaining fair and just compensation for injuries you have sustained is the primary concern at Blackman Legal Group. By using our experience and the extensive resources available to us on your behalf, we focus on achieving the highest possible monetary recovery for you.
When a judge or jury finds the defendant liable for wrongful conduct in a personal injury case, the issue then becomes what types of damages are due to the plaintiff, and in what amount. Most victims in a personal injury suit require medical attention and may need rehabilitation, all of which costs substantial sums of money. Other costs associated with a personal injury case include lost income, property damage, repair costs, rental car costs, and pain and suffering.
The law permits you to seek recovery after an accident to "make you whole again. " The central concept is that you should be compensated in a manner that, as best as the law can arrange, places you back in the same position as you were before the accident. In most personal injury cases the plaintiff must have been injured in some way to be entitled to damages. For example, in negligence cases, we must prove that you suffered injury (some type of physical, emotional or monetary harm) for the defendant to be required to pay compensation to you. However, with some intentional torts (such as battery, assault or trespass) we may only have to show that the defendant engaged in the unauthorized conduct, without proving that you suffered actual physical harm, in order to recover damages.
In all matters involving personal injury it is essential that measures be taken promptly to preserve evidence, investigate the accident in question, and to file a lawsuit prior to the deadline imposed by the statute of limitations.
