Compensation in Personal Injury and Wrongful Death Cases
At Leavy Schultz Davis, our personal injury attorneys know that you would gladly give up any financial compensation for the opportunity to turn back the clock and avoid the accident that caused your injuries. Unfortunately, we can’t turn back time but our personal injury attorneys can work with you to ensure that you get the financial compensation you deserve after an accident.
Depending on your situation, you may be entitled to compensation for a variety of things including:
- Medical Expenses – When you are injured in an accident, the person who caused the accident is legally responsible for paying for your medical expenses. These expenses can include a wide variety of treatments including emergency room care, doctor’s visits, physical therapy, medication costs and diagnostic testing.
- Property Damage – If property you owned was damaged in an accident, the person who caused the accident must pay to have your property repaired or if it cannot be repaired, you must be given the fair market value of the item.
- Lost Wages – If your injuries prevent you from working, you are entitled to be compensated for the time you missed from work.
- Lost Earning Ability – If your injuries prevent you from returning to work permanently or require you to change your profession, you may be entitled to compensation for the difference in your income and for retraining if you must change professions.
- Pain and Suffering – Not every aspect of a personal injury claim includes a monetary loss or expense, a larger part of why accidents are so disruptive to our day to day lives is that the experience can be upsetting and traumatic. Washington State allows accident victims to be compensated for the emotional toll an accident or personal injury can have on them.
