• Physical and Emotional Trauma: Compensation can be claimed for the pain and suffering you endured as a result of your accident. This includes both the physical pain caused by injuries and the emotional distress, such as anxiety, depression, or reduced quality of life, that you may have experienced.
• Lost Income and Job-Related Benefits: If your injuries have prevented you from working, you may be entitled to recover the wages you lost as well as any job-related benefits you missed out on. This could include pensions, bonuses, tips, and insurance benefits. Future loss of earnings may also be considered if your injuries have impacted your ability to work long-term.
• Medical Expenses: All reasonable and necessary medical costs associated with your injury are recoverable. This includes hospital stays, doctor’s visits, diagnostic tests, surgeries, medications, physical therapy, and any ongoing care or rehabilitation required to help you recover from your injuries.
