Common Injuries That Require Help of a Raytown Personal Injury Attorney

All accident injuries should be treated as serious injuries. Until a physician examines you, you cannot be sure of the extent of your injuries. Symptoms of some accident injuries may not be noticed until a few hours or days after an accident. The shock of the accident could mask these symptoms.

Common accident injuries include:

Documenting your injuries as soon as possible after an accident improves your chance of recovering fair compensation for your damages. Delays in medical care could have a negative impact on your case. An insurance company may use the delay in care to allege that the accident was not the cause of your injuries.

What Types of Damages Can I Recover for My Raytown Personal Injury Claim?

The damages you might recover in a personal injury case vary. However, most accident victims recover compensation for damages such as:

  • Medical expenses, including future medical treatment for permanent impairments
  • Cost of personal care or in-home health care
  • Loss of income and benefits, including decreases in future earning potential
  • Physical pain and suffering
  • Disabilities, permanent impairment, and disfigurement
  • Mental anguish and emotional distress
  • Loss of enjoyment of life and decreases in quality of life
  • Other out-of-pocket expenses and financial losses

Careful documentation of damages increases the value of your personal injury claim. Our Raytown personal injury lawyer works with you and your physicians to document and maximize damages in your case.

Several factors could impact the value of your injury claim. For example, cases involving catastrophic injuries and permanent impairments may have a higher value than cases involving minor injuries. Allegations of contributory fault could reduce the value of your claim.

Our personal injury attorney in Raytown, MO, analyzes each factor that impacts the value of your personal injury claim. We strive to minimize factors that could hurt your case while maximizing the factors that increase your injury claim's value.
