Why Retain the Top Sacramento Personal Injury Lawyer at Big Ben Lawyers?

For most people, hiring or even speaking with a personal injury legal adviser regarding their cases isn’t that much important. It’s because they don’t fully understand the significance of an advocate that could help them. Besides, these victims don’t have the legal experience or resources needed to establish for acquiring maximum compensation for their claims. 

Our compassionate and skilled personal injury legal adviser will help you with your case in more ways than one. We have the resources and experience to help establish a strong case against the defendant(s) including:

  • Acquiring evidence necessary to prove liability such as pictures or video footage of your injuries, wrecked car, damaged personal property, witness statements, and more   
  • Make sure that you’re assessed by a reputable medical professional who can completely analyze your injuries and help compute the total anticipated medical expenses
  • Collaborate with both financial and economic specialists to appropriately determine all economic and non-economic damages you sustained
  • Negotiate with the claims adjusters, including all the parties involved, and secure you the maximum compensation 
  • Represent you in court when necessary should the insurance company doesn’t want to compensate you accordingly or denies your claim

What are Some of the Most Common Injuries a Victim May Suffer?

A negligent person can inflict harm and injury on other people in different ways. Victims, on the other hand, can suffer different injuries. These include:

  • Broken or fractured bones
  • Dislocated bones
  • Critical lacerations or puncture wounds
  • Severe burn injuries 
  • Open head wounds
  • Spinal cord injuries with paralysis
  • Amputation injuries or crush wounds
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Other neck or back injuries

In many incidents, personal injury victims may also sustain considerable scarring or disfigurement because of the crash. Besides, they may also suffer from temporary or permanent disability and suffer the consequences of other people’s negligent behavior for the rest of their lives. Hiring our top Sacramento personal injury legal representative can help make your life “whole” again after a tragic accident.

What Type of Compensation Can You Get from Your Personal Injury Claim?

As an injured victim, you may be eligible to file a claim to obtain compensation for the injuries, damages, and losses you incurred. It includes economic and non-economic damages.

Economic Damages

This type of compensation, also called special damages is quantifiable, and easy to calculate the expenses and overheads from your medical bills, hospitalization, doctor visits, prescription drugs, and other expenses related to your medical care. It also includes lost wages, loss of future earnings, and household expenses.  

Non-Economic Damages

Also known as general damages, non-economic damages are typically hard to quantify because there are no receipts or bills involved.  It’s more on the physical and emotional aspects that arise from:

  • Physical disability
  • Bodily scarring and deformity
  • Emotional distress
  • Physical pain and suffering 
  • Loss of enjoyment of life

There might not be an exact formula for determining the compensation you must receive, however, it depends on the extent of the injuries you suffered and other factors. In some cases, the jury may put a cap on non-economic damages for a malpractice case, which is limited to $250,000. It’s worth noting that the court will award the victim with the monetary compensation they see applicable.  

What Factors Determine the Amount of Compensation You Must Receive?

Calculating the amount that you must receive is typically difficult. Besides, there are several factors that can influence the compensation you may obtain. These are:

  • The extent of your injuries
  • Whether or not you’re able to work or be able to get back to work
  • If there’s scarring or deformity involved  
  • The amount of pain and suffering you endured because of severe injuries 
  • Whether the defendant or liable party was egregiously reckless or deliberately harmed you

How Long Should You Wait Before Filing a Claim?

In Sacramento, the statute of limitations for filing an injury claim is two years from the date of your injury’s occurrence. Filing a claim beyond that can lose your right to compensation. Work with our expert personal injury legal adviser to help you in filing a claim. The earlier you file the better. 

However, there are some exceptions to the rule and the statute can be delayed or paused due to some factors, such as when the defendant is:

  • Out of state
  • In jail
  • Found to be legally insane
  • Minor (below 18 years old)
