How do personal injuries happen? It is not uncommon for a physical, mental or emotional injury to result from any one of the following scenarios:

• Dog Bites
• Sexual Harassment
• Assault and battery
• Construction Accidents
• Premises liability
• Product liability
• Wrongful death

Because the defendant in a personal injury lawsuit is almost always an insurance company, it is essential your law firm approach the case with a solid and informed strategy.

The law protects anyone from suffering the economic effects of a physical injury caused by others, which includes direct compensation for out-of-pocket expenses (costs associated with medical care), as well as indirect costs, such as lost earnings and pain and suffering. Physical disabilities or disfigurements are compensable. Also compensable are loss of social, educational and family experiences due to the injury, plus emotional effects such as stress, embarrassment, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Recent court rulings even place a value on “loss of consortium,” the inability to engage in sexual relations attributed to physical or emotional damage.

The monetary compensation a plaintiff can expect from a successful case depends on the facts of the claim, and the nature and extent of the injury. Severity is determined by these factors:

• Pain intensity
• Extent of medical treatment required
• Obviousness of injury (medical evidence is valued higher than claimed symptoms)
• Extent of recovery period
• Permanence of injuries
• Treatment via physicians compared to physical therapy, chiropractic and other non-physicians

The sum of these is then ranked on a scale of 1.5 to 10, which then becomes a multiplier that is applied to out-of-pocket expenses (example: $10,000 in medical expenses incurred in an accident deemed a 3.0 in severity results in $30,000 award).

If you, the plaintiff, are found to be partially responsible for the injury, the award amount will likely be decreased. But partial fault does not necessarily eliminate an award.
