While it would be ideal if the payment of the benefits you are entitled to after your accident were automatic, that is not the case. After your accident you’ll need to begin the process of gathering evidence, First, you need to prove that the accident was caused by the negligence of someone or something else, as we discussed above. Next, you need to prove the amount in damages that you are seeking with evidence.
Damages for your personal injury will generally include:
Short-term medical bills like the emergency room visit and any medications you are prescribed
Long-term medical bills like ongoing treatments, rehabilitation, surgeries, and medications
Lost wages and work benefits in the period after your injury
Long-term lost earnings potential due to your injuries
Electrocution injuries can lead to significant medical costs and impacts on your ability to work. Burn injuries can lead to permanent disability, mental health issues, as well as problems with mobility that can impact your ability to work. If your ability to earn and support your family has been impacted in any way by your accident you are entitled to compensation equal to the difference, starting at the time of your accident going through the remainder of your working life.
