Vehicle accident damages
A critical role of a Suffolk car accident attorney is to identify the damages which are potentially available in a case. When you prevail at trial on a car accident claim, the jury will award you damages based on the facts of your crash. The more severe it is, the higher the damages will be.
Two primary types of damages are involved in an injury lawsuit: economic and non-economic. Monetary damages are tangible. Because they have a fixed value, evidence typically exists, which can establish their value. Medical bills are a good example.
Non-economic damages are different in that they do not have an inherent value. In other words, the subjective nature of these injuries makes it challenging to put a price tag on them. Pain and suffering is the most common example.
