Personal injury law is a broad practice area that deals with any harm caused to a person’s body, mind, or emotions. If you’ve suffered a personal injury, your focus needs to be on your physical and emotional recovery.
Our experienced personal injury attorneys at Roybal-Mack & Cordova, PC, can take up the fight for justice on your behalf.
Damages and Liabilities in Personal Injury Cases
When you seek legal help, your injuries cannot be prevented or undone. So, what you are seeking is compensation and restitution for the mental and physical injuries you incurred.
In legal terms, you are seeking damages, defined as costs and losses that have occurred as a result of the injury. Damages may include:
- Medical costs
- Lost wages resulting from missed work
- Emotional distress
- Pain and suffering
- Compensation for lifetime effects resulting from the injury.
Damages are difficult to calculate because there is no simple formula to convert pain and suffering or loss of enjoyment of life into dollars. That is why having a personal injury lawyer is so important. Our Roybal-Mack & Cordova PC personal injury attorneys will ensure that all damages are accounted for and appropriately valued so you do not unknowingly forfeit compensation. You also need a personal injury attorney to help you prove liability.
