After a personal injury, what damages can I sue for?

Following a personal injury caused by someone else's negligence, you can sue for compensation. This is usually referred to as "suing for damages." The damages are actual costs that you have incurred or will incur because of the accident. Costs such as:

• Out-of-pocket medical expenses
• Future medical expenses
• Lost wages – past and future
• Intangible damages

Intangible damages are those damages meant to compensate you for how your life is different now, than it was before the accident. An experienced, board certified attorney can help you calculate intangibles. Most people will sell themselves short. Don't do that!
