What Compensation Will My Raymore, MO Auto Crash Lawyer Recover for Me?

Compensation in auto wreck claims should not just be for fixing your car. Car accident injuries can carry a colossal physical and emotional toll and in order to really recover you need fair and full compensation for every way your injury has impacted you. In general, there are two categories of damages you can receive in a personal injury claim:

Economic Damages

Economic damages are essentially compensation for the financial losses you have sustained because of your accident, and do not change based on how an insurance company or jury assesses them. Your Burger Law auto crash lawyer will help you receive compensation for:

• Property damage, for example damage to your vehicle car
• Lost wages
• Lost earning potential
• Medical expenses, past and future, including:
• A Raymore, MO emergency room visit
• Medications, for instance prescribed pain killers
• Physical rehabilitation
• Follow-up appointments
• Assistive devices such as crutches or a wheelchair
• In-home nursing

In cases where injuries are not too severe the evaluation of economic damages is as easy as summing up medical expenses, mechanics' bills and how much wages you lost out on. More grave injuries can be much more complex. For instant, if you needed a hip replacement after your auto wreck, you will probably need a replacement at some point. Burger Law's auto crash lawyer team's group of Raymore, MO medical and economic experts will calculate and demonstrate how frequently you will need a new replacement and how much it will cost, adjusting for inflation. If you need special equipment such as a wheelchair, we will compute how much money you will need for those replacements. Likewise, if you were a construction worker and can now no longer safely lift more than 20 pounds, that will significantly decrease your capacity to provide for your family in the future. Your Burger Law Raymore, MO auto crash lawyer will make sure that you are compensated for every penny of the financial consequences your injury has had on your life.

Noneconomic Damages

Noneconomic damages are more difficult to assess, and often being awarded full compensation for them will require the judgment of a jury. They compensate you for the impact of your injuries on your emotional well-being and capacity to enjoy life. Missouri Senate Bill 239 defines noneconomic damages as:

• Pain and suffering
• Mental anguish
• Inconvenience
• Physical impairment
• Disfigurement
• Loss of capacity to enjoy life
• Loss of consortium

Your noneconomic damages will be greater if you have a "catastrophic personal injury," which Missouri Senate Bill 239 defines as:

• Quadriplegia, or losing function of all four limbs
• Paraplegia, or losing function of two limbs
• Loss of two or more limbs
• A brain injury that results in permanent cognitive impairment
• An injury that causes irreversible failure to one or more major organs
• An injury that results in legal blindness

Noneconomic damages such as pain and suffering are often difficult for a Raymore, MO jury to know how to calculate. At Burger Law, our Raymore, MO auto crash lawyer team constantly hones its trial skills and knows how to win over juries. We help juries relate to you as a human being and see exactly how catastrophic an impact your auto accident injuries have had on your life. You deserve a great financial recovery for the full scope of the consequences you have experienced because of your injury.

Punitive Damages

A third type of damages is rarely awarded in personal injury and car accident claims. Punitive damages serve to punish the at-fault party and make them reconsider before committing the same negligence again.Pursuant to Missouri Senate Bill 591, to receive punitive damages your auto crash lawyer must:

prove by clear and convincing evidence that the defendant intentionally harmed the plaintiff without just cause or acted with a deliberate and flagrant disregard for the safety of others.

In the majority motor vehicle accident cases you cannot prove that somebody intentionally harmed you. However, in cases of extreme recklessness such as drunk driving, they can often be awarded. We seek punitive damages when we sue drunk drivers so they know exactly how extreme their negligence was.

When you hire the Raymore, MO auto crash lawyer at Burger Law, we fight on your behalf and demand that you are awarded full compensation for all of your damages. We have over seven decades of combined experience standing up to bullies like resistant insurance companies that do not want to pay you what you are owed.

If you have been injured in a car wreck because someone else broke the rules of the road, call Burger Law immediately at (314) 500-HURT.

How Long Do I Have to File a Car Accident Claim? | Raymore, MO Auto Crash Lawyer

According to Missouri Revised Statute §516.120, all tort claims, including auto wreck claims, have a statute of limitations of five years, so that you have five years from the date your accident happened to file a claim. There are two significant exceptions:

1. If the defendant resides in Missouri and temporarily leaves the state, the time they are not in state does not count against the five years.
2. If you or your loved one was less than 21 years old at the time of the accident, or was "mentally incapacitated," you have 5 years from the the date you turn 21 or the date the disability ends to file a claim.

If you were injured because of another person's negligent behavior, the clock is already ticking. Do not delay in talking to a Raymore, MO auto crash lawyer.

What if the Accident Was Partially My Fault? | Raymore, MO Auto Crash Lawyer

If you were partially to blame for your accident, you may still be able to collect compensation under Missouri law. Missouri is a pure comparative fault state. That means that if you are found to be partially at fault for the accident, your compensation will be reduced by the percentage of blame you share. For example, if a jury awards you $100,000 for an accident, but discovers that you were 30 percent at fault, your final financial recovery would be $70,000.

Burger Law knows the ins and outs of Missouri law better than anyone. We will fight hard to lessen the amount of blame being placed on you and get you the maximum compensation you are owed.
