There are three main types of compensation you can obtain after an accident: economic, non-economic and punitive. Economic damages compensate for financial losses while non-economic damages compensate for the more abstract losses associated with suffering an injury. Punitive damages are not often awarded since they are usually reserved for cases where the defendant knew their actions caused harm but did them anyway. Economic and Non-Economic Damages Usually Cover:
Loss of income or wages
Diminished earning capacity
Past and future medical bills
Mental and emotional anguish
Physical pain and suffering
If you were injured by a careless, reckless or otherwise negligent driver, then you deserve compensation for your losses. Similarly, if your loved one was killed in a car accident caused by another driver, our attorneys can help you file a wrongful death claim—which can help your family pay for funeral costs and any medical bills. Whatever the case, we are here to help you deal with this challenging situation by taking effective legal action. At Todd Miner Law, we know the aftermath of an auto accident can be challenging—not just emotionally and physically, but financially. This is why our firm works on a contingency fee basis. To put it simply: we don’t ask for any legal fees unless we secure a financial award on your behalf. That way, we can focus on your case while you focus on your recovery. If our firm doesn’t win your case, you don’t pay.
