Possible Compensation in Personal Injury Law

No two personal injury cases are the same. However, they all involve a Miami personal injury lawyer calculating the economic and non-economic damages of the injury claim or lawsuit. Depending on the severity of injuries, length of treatment, and impact on overall quality of life, compensation in personal injury law may account for the following damages:

• Medical Costs: Compensation for healthcare costs relating to injuries sustained in a personal injury accident. This includes reimbursement for medical care, surgeries, hospitalizations, physical therapy, orthopedic care, rehabilitation, mental health services, and future healthcare.
• Lost Income: Reimbursement for the time missed from work due to injuries. Depending on the nature of your occupation and the severity of injuries, income losses may include lost salary, wages, commissions, bonuses, benefits, sick pay, vacation time, and promotions. If you cannot return to work, our attorneys will calculate your diminished earning capacity or lost future earnings.
• Property Damages: Any property damaged or destroyed in a personal injury accident is recoverable economic damage. Typical property damages include vehicle repairs and rental care expenses while vehicles are in the shop. They may also entail compensation for damages to structures, landscaping, or things on your person, such as cell phones and glasses. 
• Pain and Suffering: Pain and suffering are significant non-economic damages in many personal injury cases. It compensates for physical pain, emotional distress, psychological trauma, and a decreased quality of life. 
• A Loss of Enjoyment of Life: The inability to enjoy activities like hobbies and sports that you did before an accident. A loss of enjoyment of life is a non-economic damage that compensates for the loss of social opportunities and connections, difficulty with daily tasks, and the emotional toll of being unable to participate in activities you once enjoyed.
• Disability or Disfigurement: Compensation for physical impairments like disfigurement from burns and scars and disabilities, including physical and intellectual, caused by a personal injury accident.

When personal injury accidents result in wrongful death, Garnes Injury Law is prepared to act quickly, with compassion, to secure compensation for your loved one’s final medical expenses, final arrangement costs, loss of income, and emotional suffering surviving family endures. Our attorneys will comprehensively evaluate the damages in your personal injury claim to maximize compensation.

Personal Injury Cases Garnes Injury Law Represents

Garnes Injury Law focuses on many aspects of personal injury law, ensuring Miami residents injured by someone else’s negligence secure reimbursement for economic damages and monetary justice for intangible loss. You shouldn’t bear the costs of recovery or life-altering injuries for an accident that wasn’t even your fault.

Our dedicated team of attorneys fights to ensure that doesn’t happen. Garnes Injury Law’s primary practice includes the following areas of personal injury law:

• Car Accidents: Our Miami personal injury lawyers represent clients sustaining injuries from car accidents in the Miami area. From speeding to distracted or drunk driving, we will identify the negligent act and build our case around it to secure reasonable compensation for your car accident claim. 
• Truck Accidents: Vicarious liability holds most trucking companies responsible for a driver’s negligence while driving a company truck. Our legal team confidently addresses the issues of multiple-party liability and complicated evidence common with truck accidents to ensure all liable parties are held accountable for your damages. 
• Rideshare Accidents: These collisions often involve filing claims against the driver’s insurance policy and negotiating with third-party liability insurers for companies like Uber and Lyft. Garnes Injury Law is well-versed in rideshare accident practices. We will secure evidence, such as data from rideshare apps, drivers’ phone records, and electronic data recorder (EDR) information, when applicable, to fortify your rideshare accident case.
• Premises Liability: Our Miami personal injury lawyers handle premise liability incidents, such as swimming pool accidents and slip-and-falls. We will build and present strong evidence demonstrating that the property owner knew or had reason to know about the hazard and failed to correct it.
• Workplace and Construction Accidents: Being injured while at work usually involves our team overseeing workers’ compensation claims and third-party negligence claims or lawsuits to recover additional damages. After discovering the circumstances of your case, we will identify legal action and proceed accordingly.
• Medical Malpractice: Garnes Injury Law fights for a patient’s right to compensation when injured by healthcare providers’ negligence, known as medical malpractice. We represent cases involving delayed or misdiagnosed diagnoses, surgical errors, and birth injuries.

When any of the above personal injury accidents are fatal, an experienced Miami personal injury lawyer at Garnes Injury Law will compassionately handle your wrongful death case. In Miami, the personal representative of the decedent’s estate can file a wrongful death claim or lawsuit on behalf of surviving family members.

Handling Insurance Companies in Personal Injury Cases

Insurance companies compensate personal injury victims for their monetary and intangible losses after an accident. It’s a common misconception that they’re on your side. They’re not. An insurance claims adjuster usually sounds friendly and concerned. But their ultimate goal is to get you to admit to liability or say anything they can twist to downplay your injuries to undervalue or deny your claim. They employ many tactics to do so, including:

• Disputing liability or denying valid claims.
• Misrepresenting benefits and policy language.
• Ask for recorded statements to secure evidence of you saying anything they can use to reduce the compensation they owe.
• Significantly undervaluing claims, knowing that claimants without legal representation fail to negotiate and almost always accept the first low offer.
• Pressuring claimants to settle before they’ve recovered from their injuries or hit their maximum medical improvement.
• Using delaying tactics to exhaust claimants into accepting lowball first settlement offers, fearing not seeing another offer or receiving an even smaller offer.
• Downplaying the severity of your injuries and contesting the need for certain medical treatments.

Garnes Injury Law is prepared for these standard insurance company tactics and keeps the claims process moving forward. Once you retain our services, insurers can no longer contact you about the case. Our offices will handle all communications to ensure you avoid being pressured, harassed, or threatened to settle too soon.

What to Do After a Personal Injury Accident

There are many moves to make following a personal injury accident to ensure your health and protection of your legal right to compensation. If you’ve been injured in an accident due to someone else’s negligence, take the following steps:

• Follow Treatment Plans: Following medical treatment plans is important to ensure proper recovery and medical documentation for your personal injury case. Insurance companies can undervalue and deny claims for gaps in treatment or a history of missed or canceled appointments.
• Keep Detailed Records: Keep organized records of medical bills, vehicle repair invoices, and out-of-pocket expense receipts to prove economic damages. Paystubs, bank statements, tax returns, and lost income statements from your employer may all be viable depending on the nature of your income losses.
• Document Pain and Suffering: Keep a post-accident journal documenting your pain and suffering. Entries should be dated, detailed, and consistent. Include documentation of physical pain, emotional distress, sleep disturbances, anxiety, depression, and limited or restricted mobility performing daily tasks or enjoying activities you once loved.
