Depending on the severity of the accident and what injuries you sustained, there are different types of damages that you might be able to recover in your pedestrian accident case. If you're successful, economic damages will be paid to you to reimburse you for financial losses you experienced as a direct result of the accident. The most common economic damages include:
Medical Expenses: This can include past and future medical bills, costs of rehabilitation, costs of medication, and any other expenses related to the care and treatment of injuries sustained in the accident.
Lost Wages: If you are unable to work because of your injuries, you may be able to recover lost wages. This can include lost salary, bonuses, tips, and commission. If you are permanently disabled and unable to return to work, you may be able to recover future lost earnings.
Property Damage: You should be able to recover the cost of repairing or replacing any property that was damaged in the accident. This can include damage to a vehicle or personal belongings.
You may also be eligible to recover non-economic damages. Non-economic damages are those that do not have a specific monetary value and are more subjective. They can include pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of companionship, and loss of enjoyment of life.
