Types of Compensation for Personal Injury Cases

When you are injured because of someone else’s negligence, the person responsible needs to be held accountable. The attorneys at Chain | Cohn | Clark are here to do just that.

Lost Wages

After you are injured, there is a good chance that you will have to miss at least some work. This may be due to medical visits, physical inability, or hospital stays. You can fight for compensation for lost wages when you are not able to work due to an accident. Here at Chain | Cohn | Clark, we fight for the working men and women of Kern County. When you are not able to work because of someone else’s negligence, we want to make sure you and your family are still taken care of.

Medical Bills

You will likely have medical bills because of your injury. Any bills that are related to your injury because of someone else’s negligence have the potential to be covered under a personal injury lawsuit. From your first doctor’s visit on forward, it’s important to keep all documents, medical bills, and records.

Emotional Distress

You can fight for compensation for the emotional distress you experience after your injury. You may be experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, or other types of mental/emotional anguish. After an accident, it’s normal to have emotional and psychological responses.

To successfully attain compensation for your emotional distress, it’s helpful to have records from a therapist, psychiatrist, or psychologist.

Loss of Consortium

Loss of consortium means loss of companionship, which is something you may experience after an accident, especially if you have lost a loved one because they were killed in the accident or were injured to the point where their—and your—quality of life has dramatically declined. If this is the case, your Lost Hills personal injury lawyer can build a case around loss of companionship.

Punitive Damages

Pursuing punitive damages means that you want the person responsible for your injury to pay because of their negligence. These types of damages are pursuant to California Code 3294. Our personal injury lawyers at Chain | Cohn | Clark can help you determine if you are eligible for punitive damages.

Brain/Spinal Injuries

As some of the most impactful, life-threatening injuries possible, brain/spinal injuries can happen in several ways. No matter the cause—from a car accident to lack of proper safety equipment—your life may be changed forever, especially since many physical and/or cognitive brain/spinal injuries can last a lifetime.

Burn Injuries

Burn injuries, which oftentimes result from negligence towards your safety, usually bring horrible pain into your life. It’s also common to experience frustration along with your physical suffering. If necessary, we can help you fight for compensation for physical disfigurement and emotional distress, on top of any medical bills that need to be covered.

Animal Bites

If you’ve been bitten by an animal, you may be able to file a lawsuit against the animal’s owner. Their homeowner’s insurance may cover your medical bills and other damages.

Birth Injuries

If your child is injured during birth, the result could be lasting, unnecessary pain for them and your family. Brain damage, paralysis, and cerebral palsy are just some of the chronic outcomes that can result from medical malpractice that leads to birth injuries. The damage endured by your child may also weigh on your family financially. Let us help you hold the person responsible accountable for their negligence.
