Our lawyers understand how to pursue recoverable damages after a Miami car accident. We can investigate, establish liability, and initiate a compensation claim or lawsuit on your behalf.
You can initiate a personal injury claim or lawsuit to recover compensation for your losses. Below are some of the damages you can recover after a car accident.
Car crash victims in Miami may recover compensation for lost income while recuperating from their injuries, as well as for reduced earning capacity if they are unable to return to work. Our lawyers will prove lost income using the following evidence:
Medical expenses are often the most substantial damages in a car accident claim. Recoverable costs include emergency care, hospital stays, surgeries, diagnostic testing, prescription medications, physical therapy, rehabilitation, and future medical treatment related to the accident.
Accident-related expenses can quickly add up. Our lawyers document and help recover costs, such as:
Pain and suffering damages compensate for the pain, trauma, discomfort, and limitations associated with the car accident. These damages reflect the severity of the injuries, the duration of recovery, and the long-term impact on daily life.
Emotional anguish includes anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, and trauma resulting from the crash. Your attorney will use medical records, mental health evaluations, and personal testimony to help establish these losses.
Loss of consortium compensates a spouse for the loss of companionship, affection, and support. For example, a spouse may recover damages when accident-related injuries prevent their partner from participating in marital or family relationships.
These damages address the inability to engage in hobbies, recreational activities, or social experiences once enjoyed before the accident.
A court may award punitive damages when the at-fault party’s conduct was especially reckless or intentional, such as driving drunk. Our car accident lawyers will claim for punitive damages by presenting evidence of egregious behavior, prior violations, toxicology reports, and witness testimony to show conscious disregard for safety.
Our motor vehicle accident lawyers in Miami employ strategic tactics to secure maximum compensation for your losses. We will document all damages, including future medical expenses and long-term impacts that insurers often overlook.
Our injury attorneys understand the negotiation techniques employed by insurance companies. We can counter low settlement offers with compelling evidence, testimony from medical experts, and detailed demand letters that justify higher compensation.
When negotiations stall, our attorneys will file a lawsuit to demonstrate serious intent, which often prompts insurers to increase their settlement offers. We also leverage discovery processes to uncover additional liable parties or insurance policies.
If necessary, we will take your case to trial for a fair assessment of your claim before a jury.
You may receive compensation if a car accident caused by someone else’s negligence led to your injuries. Even so, you may face resistance from insurers who minimize your losses by making a low settlement offer.
