You May Be Able to Pursue Multiple Compensatory Damages

If you or a loved one sustained serious injuries as a result of driver negligence, you may be entitled to economic and non-economic damages, depending on the unique nature of the facts of the case and your injuries. Below is a brief overview of each.

Economic Damages

Some examples of economic damages that you may be entitled to include:

• Loss of wages: If your injuries prevented you from working and earning a living, you may be entitled to any out-of-pocket loss of income you suffered
• Loss of future earning capacity: If your injuries are permanent and will prevent you from working or earning as much as before, you may seek the financial value of what you would have made if you were not disabled.
• Unpaid medical bills: We will claim the full amount of any unpaid medical bills which resulted from your injuries including hospital or medical bills, rehabilitation or physical therapy visits, medications, and medical equipment.
• Funeral bills: If you lost a loved one in a taxicab accident, you may be compensated for funeral services.
• Any other out of pocket expenses: Every case is unique and any out of pocket expenses resulting from your injuries may be recovered.

Noneconomic Damages

Some examples of noneconomic expenses include:

• Pain and suffering: If your injuries caused or continue to cause you any physical or psychological distress, you are entitled to fair and just compensation for these injuries
• Disability: You are entitled to compensation for any injuries that result in the loss of a limb, organ, or any important bodily function.
• Disfigurement: You are entitled to compensation for any injury that results in scars, burns, or other physical disfigurements caused by the accident.
• Loss of society: In the event of the death of a loved one, the family is entitled to compensation for the loss of the company, love, guidance, and support of the accident victim.
