Personal Injury Accidents Lead to Massive Expenses for the Victims
When you are injured, you may be shocked at the cost of your recovery. Many people do not realize how expensive an injury can be, but according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the cost of injury in the U.S. in 2019 was $4.2 trillion for healthcare, loss of quality of life, and loss of work productivity. That is a massive loss across the country, which impacts each person injured.
The specifics of your accident can also raise the costs of your recovery. An article published in 2016 in the National Library of Medicine found that traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries are some of the most expensive injuries, each having a median cost of $250,000. This estimate does not include other injuries you may have also suffered at the same time.

You May Be Due Significant Compensation for Your Injuries
When an accident happens, you might deserve compensation to help you overcome the losses you have suffered. These losses and suffering, also called damages, can be costly, so ensuring you are not settling for less is vital. Fortunately, we are here to help you calculate the total value of your claim.
Economic Damages
When you have been injured in a personal injury accident, you may have significant financial losses that impact your ability to recover. These economic damages can be costly, but you should not have to pay out of pocket for them. You may instead need to seek compensation for them.
Your Bloomfield personal injury lawyer has the tools you need to identify your claim’s worth and seek compensation. Your personal injury attorney can help you calculate the full value of your current and future expenses, like medical care you will need in the future. These damages often include hospital bills, lost wages, property damage, and more.
Non-Economic Damages
Your non-economic damages, defined in Michigan Compiled Laws (MCL) §600.1483, cover the intangible suffering you have experienced because of your injuries. These damages, also known as pain and suffering, offer compensation for the mental and emotional toll of your injuries and accidents. Some examples could include pain and suffering, emotional trauma, loss of affection, and more.
Remember that these non-economic damages are intangible, meaning that you may need help calculating the value of these damages. Rather than determining them based on a set value, they are determined by the severity of the injuries and the impact those injuries have on your well-being. Talk to us if you are ready to discover the value of your claim.
Punitive Damages
Economic and non-economic damages are known as compensatory damages because they are meant to compensate you for your suffering. In some cases, you may also be awarded compensation for punitive damages, or damages meant to punish the wrongdoer for their action, under MCL §445.911. These damages are rarely awarded, but they can help you recover when you are injured by wanton negligence or malice.
For example, you may have been struck by a speeding drunk driver. Because their behavior was so drastically dangerous, you may be eligible for punitive damages in addition to your other damages. Fortunately, we can help you identify whether you are eligible.
We understand that you may be going through a difficult situation and we are ready to help however we can.
