Compensation Available in Shepherdsville Personal Injury Cases
In personal injury cases, various types of compensation, also known as damages, may be available to the injured party. These can include:
Medical Expenses
This covers the cost of medical treatment, including hospital bills, surgeries, prescription medications, rehabilitation, and any future medical needs related to the injury.
Lost Wages
If the injury prevents you from working, you may be entitled to compensation for the income you have lost, both in the past and potentially in the future.
Diminished Earning Capacity
If your injury results in a permanent impairment or disability, you may be entitled to the difference in income you can earn now compared to before.
Pain and Suffering
This accounts for the physical pain and emotional distress caused by the injury. It’s a non-economic form of compensation that can be more subjective to calculate.
Property Damage
In cases like car accidents, this covers the cost of repairing or replacing damaged property, such as a vehicle.
Loss of Consortium
This pertains to the impact the injury has on the relationship between a spouse and the injured party. It can include loss of companionship, affection, and intimacy.
Punitive Damages
In cases of extreme negligence or intentional harm, the court may award punitive damages to punish the responsible party and deter similar behavior in the future.
Wrongful Death Damages
In cases of wrongful death, compensation may cover funeral and burial expenses, the financial support the deceased would have provided to their family, and more.
