When someone else’s negligence causes damages to you or a loved one, you can pursue justice and compensation through injury claims. For over three decades, the personal injury attorneys at Weingast Law have helped individuals and families in the Hartford, CT, area receive the rightful compensation they deserve.

To understand how an injury can affect you and how you can hold the people who are responsible accountable, familiarize yourself with these common forms of damages:

  • Medical Expenses: An injury can bring expensive medical bills for necessary treatment, and your claim will seek compensation to cover every aspect of it. The costs can vary; depending on the nature of the accident, you may also require long-term physical therapy and care. Your attorney will help you thoroughly identify what to include.
  • Pain & Suffering: In some cases, the plaintiff will receive compensation simply for enduring what is deemed an extreme amount of pain and suffering. If it’s a traumatic event, death, or grave injury, it can be pursued as a part of your injury claims.
  • injury claimsLost Income & Opportunities: If the accident causes you to be incapable of working or lose your current job, you can claim compensation for lost income and professional opportunities.
  • Psychological Distress: In the event of an accident or harm, the mental consequences can be as harmful as physical damage. Examples that merit compensation include developing psychological disorders, like anxiety, PTSD, or severe depression. 
  • Wrongful Death: A wrongful death suit is appropriate when an injury causes death. Damages are calculated by determining how much money the victim would have brought into the family if they were still alive, as well as considering the loss of companionship the family suffered as a result of the wrongful death.
  • Punitive Compensation: If the person responsible for your injuries was reckless or malicious, you may receive compensation for punitive damages meant as an additional punishment for the party at fault.
