If you have been hurt in a car crash, after an animal attack, or for almost any other reason, you may have grounds to take legal action. A Kenosha personal injury lawyer may be able to represent you during settlement talks or at trial. Furthermore, an attorney may be able to explain the process of obtaining compensation and what types of damages you may be entitled to.
For instance, you may receive a financial award to help pay for medical expenses incurred as a result of the defendant’s negligence. You may also be entitled to recoup lost wages or the cost of refurbishing your home or car to make them easier to use after being hurt.
There is a possibility that you will have nightmares or experience other symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after a car crash or similar experience. A financial award might cover the cost of going to therapy or for medication designed to help keep you calm in situations that may be triggering.
Finally, you might receive a financial award to make up for the loss of consortium with a spouse. The same might be true if you can’t participate in activities that you enjoyed before you were hurt because of the defendant’s reckless behavior. These activities may include playing a sport, singing in a choir, or volunteering at the shelter on Saturday afternoons.
