Personal Injury Compensation
Depending on the intent and/or negligence of the party responsible for the damage, the injured party may be entitled to compensation. The amount of compensation our team can recover will depend on the severity of your injury. Typically, clients recover for claims involving:
Pain and Suffering: You can receive compensation for any serious discomfort caused by the accident or any lingering pain.
Lost wages: You can receive compensation when the accident affects your wages and salary...for not only the income already lost, but also your future income.
Medical Expenses: It is important to cover the cost of medical bills associated with the accident. Personal injury damages include reimbursement for any treatment you have already received and medical care you may need in the future.
Property damage: When vehicles, clothing, and other items are damaged as a result of an accident, it is most appropriate for you to receive compensation.
Mental suffering and emotional trauma: You can also be compensated for any psychological impact caused by the accident. Emotional distress can be manifested by fear, loss of sleep, and anxiety.
Loss of consortium: This relates to the impact injuries have on a relationship. In some cases, it could be related to the inability to have a sexual relationship.
Loss of enjoyment: Some injuries can prevent you from enjoying everyday activities like exercise, hobbies, etc. If you qualify, you are entitled to compensation for "pain and suffering" damages.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I tell my lawyer about the case?
The key facts an effective attorney wants to know include: The date the accident occurred. Who caused it. The location where it occurred. How it started. What injuries you sustained.
You also want to discuss other issues like: Who else was in the car with you. Were you driving or were a passenger? What it raining at the time?
How long do these cases take?
The amount of time it will take to resolve your case will depend on many factors. About your injuries, how the events happened and if they are easy to prove; and especially if an agreement is reached with the other party.
Can I receive compensation for pain and suffering?
Yes, and the amount of compensation you receive will depend on whether your pain is minimal, moderate, or severe.
Who can file a wrongful death claim?
The wrongful death law in the United States is for people who have been affected by the death of a loved one to hire an experienced lawyer who can help them in their case.
Who will pay my medical bills?
This depends on what coverage is available and what insurance the provider is accepting. Our office will be in contact with your medical provider and insurance company to expedite payment of bills. Our personal injury lawyers at Valera Diaz & Associates can also help you review financing options to cover the bills.
What should I do after an accident?
First, you must make sure that you are in good health. You should then contact an experienced personal injury attorney to learn what your rights and options are. Third, you should call the police and inform them of the accident. And later, if this is the case, call your auto insurance provider.
What should you not do after an accident?
Do not discuss the accident with anyone other than your doctor and personal injury attorney. It is also important that you not sign any agreement or statement with an insurance company.
What does "Statute of Limitations" mean?
The statute of limitations is the amount of time you have to file a lawsuit against someone who hurt you. An experienced personal injury lawyer at Valera Diaz & Assoc. can advise and guide you throughout this legal process. Generally, the injured party has 2 years from the day of the accident to file a lawsuit in court and sue the person who caused you damage. Normally, after the accident, a claim is filed against the insurance company of the person responsible for the accident, to obtain fair compensation for all damages suffered.
Our law office has years of experience representing people who have suffered serious injuries as the result of a lack of care (negligence) of another person. Our team's goal is to maximize the amount of compensation for our clients to cover damages and losses suffered as a result of all types of accidents.
It is imperative that you hire an experienced personal injury lawyer. In many cases insurance companies refuse to pay fair compensation, but an aggressive, experienced attorney on your side can make the difference.
