A Guide to Calculating Personal Injury Compensation in Waupun, WI

In a Waupun, WI personal injury claim, "compensation" (also known as "damages") is meant to make the injured party "whole" again, at least financially. At BL Personal Injury Attorneys, we pursue compensation for all categories of damages you are entitled to. These are typically divided into two main types.

Economic Damages (Special Damages)

These are the tangible, verifiable financial losses you have incurred due to the accident. They have a clear dollar value. Examples Include:

• Current and Future Medical Bills: This includes everything from the initial ambulance ride and emergency room visit to surgeries, hospital stays, physical therapy, medications, and any anticipated future medical care.
• Lost Wages: Compensation for the time you were unable to work while recovering from your injuries.
• Loss of Future Earning Capacity: If your injuries prevent you from returning to your previous job or limit your ability to earn an income in the future, we seek compensation for this long-term loss.
• Property Damage: In a car accident, this would be the cost to repair or replace your vehicle.
• Out-of-Pocket Expenses: This includes costs like transportation to medical appointments, home modifications, and other expenses directly related to your injury.

The Role of an Attorney

Insurance companies will always try to downplay the value of non-economic damages. The experienced attorneys at BL Personal Injury Attorneys in Waupun, WI know how to build a powerful case to demonstrate the full impact the injury has had on your life, using medical records, expert testimony, and your personal story to fight for the maximum compensation you deserve.

• Is there a minimum amount of damage to have a case?There is no set minimum, but to have a viable claim, you must have suffered some form of damages (physical, emotional, or financial).
