You are entitled to recover for lost wages, property damage, medical expenses, emotional distress, physical impairment, and pain and suffering. If the offending party's conduct was egregious enough, the Court may also require payment of punitive damages. The amount of recovery varies from case to case and depends primarily on the nature and extent of the injuries and damages. There is no exact method or formula to determine a precise figure.
In order to properly assess the value of your claim, an experienced attorney will consider such things as: the type of injury, the length of medical treatment, the type of medical treatment received, the cost of medical treatment, the part(s) of the body injured, the permanency of the injury, the family status of the victim, the age of the victim, whether the victim is sympathetic, whether a typical jury would likely identify with the victim, the egregiousness of the conduct of the offender, and the size of awards and settlements in similar cases.
