from the at-fault party or another liable party tied to the accident. Through a personal injury claim or lawsuit, you may be able to recover damages you incurred as a result of these injuries.

A personal injury lawyer at Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., wants to help you build your case. If you live in Westbury, NY, we offer to review the case for free and a no-obligation, courteous, patient and comprehensive consultation  with one of our team members. We will answer your questions, address your concerns and explain your legal options for pursuing compensation.

We will Explain Your Recoverable Damages in Your Personal Injury Case

One thing many of our clients are interested in is how much money they might be entitled to pursue. However, there is no general answer to this question, as personal injury damages are specific to each individual, meaning compensation is based on your specific financial and non-financial losses.

When you become our client, we will begin reviewing your case to tally up your damages and calculate their value. To determine the value of the case, we will first identify which of your damages are economic or non-economic. Some damages may need to be assigned values, which we will explain fully  in direct consultation with you, tailored to your unique circumstances

What Damages Can I Recover in a Personal Injury Case in Westbury, NY?

Injured parties have the potential to recover various economic and non-economic damages.

Economic damages may be calculated first since they already have a monetary value and can be proven with receipts, bills, tax forms, and other financial documents. These damages include:

• Costs for emergency transport
• Costs for medical treatment and care
• Costs for projected future medical care
• Costs for prescription medications
• Costs for rehabilitation and physical therapy
• Costs for assistive and mobility devices
• Costs for home and vehicle modifications
• Lost wages and benefits
• Projected loss of income and benefits
• Diminished earning capacity

Non-economic damages refer to your physical and emotional losses, which need to be assigned a monetary value when calculating your damages. They may include:

• Pain and suffering generally
• Emotional distress, specifically, as may be documented by a mental health professional that provided treatment
• Impaired enjoyment of life, such as the inability or reduced ability to perform pre-accident activities
• Permanent disability, including vision and hearing loss
• Scarring or other physical disfigurement, such as burn marks
• Diminished quality of life, as a result of all the above forms of harm

Potential Damages in a Wrongful Death Case

If your loved one died from their injuries, please accept our sincere condolences.  We are ready and able to fight for the compensation you need and the justice your departed loved one deserves.

We will review your case to see if you qualify to pursue a wrongful death action. With this type of case, you may be able to pursue additional damages regarding your loved one’s passing, such as:

• Final medical expenses they incurred before their death
• Funeral service expenses, including expenses to cover their burial or cremation
• Loss of financial support if they contributed to the family net worth
• Loss of companionship or parental guidance
• Loss of consortium (i.e., the special losses suffered when one loses a spouse.)

We Will Help You Establish Liability in Your Personal Injury Case

We will need to establish liability and prove fault to build your claim. Proving liability requires that we show the following:

• Duty of care: The defendant owed you a duty of care.
• Breach of duty: The defendant was negligent(i.e., breached their duty).
• Causation: The defendant’s breach of duty caused your accident and injuries.
• Damages: You suffered damages because of the accident.

In building a case argument, we might discover that there are multiple liable parties involved in your accident. If so, we will help you build cases against each liable party if doing so is a viable option for pursuing compensation.

How We Support Your Case Argument for Liability

To prove liability, we document your case thoroughly and support it with evidence that may include:

• Accident reports
• Photos or video footage
• Witness testimony
• Medical records
• Expert opinion and testimony

To document your damages, we will obtain opinions and, if necessary, testimony from subject matter experts, including:

• Medical professionals
• Vocational rehabilitation specialists
• Life care planners
• Economists
• Accident reconstruction experts
