What Damages Can I Recover with a Laredo Injury Claim?
1. Physical pain. An injured victim can recover compensation for past and future physical pain. The amount of that compensation is decided at the discretion of a jury. Past physical pain can be established through the testimony of the injured and/or inferred from the seriousness of the incident causing the injury. Future pain can be established by evidence demonstrating that the physical pain from an injury in reasonable probability likely to continue into the future.
2. Mental anguish. An injured victim may recover compensation for past and future mental anguish in most personal injury cases where a physical injury is present. Even without physical injury, mental anguish damages may be awarded if there is clear evidence of severe emotional distress, such as grief, despair, or loss of enjoyment of life, that significantly disrupts the victim’s daily routine.
3. Disfigurement. Disfigurement refers to injuries that alter a person’s appearance in a way that causes visible deformity or imperfection, often leading to embarrassment or a desire to conceal the affected area. Damages are awarded based on the severity and duration of the disfigurement, with common examples including amputations, scars, burns, and misshapen limbs.
4. Physical impairment. Physical impairment relates to an injured victim’s loss of enjoyment of life. This usually includes an inability to engage in hobbies or other recreational activities.
5. Medical expenses. An injured victim may recover compensation for all reasonable and necessary medical expenses incurred as a result of an event and those that in reasonable medical probability will be incurred in the future. Expert testimony is often required to prove that medical expenses were reasonable and necessary.
6. Lost Earnings. An injured victim may recover compensation for lost earnings, such as wages. For example, an injured victim who must be out of work for six months while recovering from surgery may recover compensation for wages lost during that time.
7. Loss of earning capacity. Loss of earning capacity refers to an injured person’s reduced ability to earn income in the future, even if they have not lost wages yet. It is based on factors like past earnings, physical limitations, ability to work with pain, long-term effects of the injury, and expected work-life span.
8. Loss of consortium. Loss of consortium refers to the loss of love, affection, support, companionship, and care resulting from a family member’s injury, and is available to a spouse or child of the injured person. These claims are tied to the injured person’s case, with spousal claims covering emotional and relational losses, and children’s claims evaluated based on the impact of the injury on the parent-child relationship and the child’s age, needs, and available support.
9. Loss of services. Loss of services is different from loss of consortium damages in that it relates to the performance of household and domestic duties. Loss of services is also derivative of the injured victim’s personal injury claim and is available to a spouse and parent of an injured child.
