What Is the Value of Your Claim?

It's difficult to predict how much someone will be compensated in advance. The overall value of your claim will be determined by various factors, including the ones listed below. 

Damages for Compensatory Reasons

In most car accident instances; compensatory damages refer to lost wages. These can include both current and prospective earning capabilities, as well as money the customer has already lost, such as missing wages. 

Wage Decrease

After an accident, most people are forced to take time off work, resulting in lost earnings. Work absences might range from a few days for emergency treatment for many weeks of physical therapy.

Earning Potential in the Future

The ability to return to work and the prospect of earning a living in the future are two of the most pressing concerns for automobile accident victims. Unfortunately, serious injuries might make a person unable to work permanently or only allow them to work for a limited period of time after they have been injured. Someone with a handicap may be forced to quit a successful job or business in order to accept a position with a lesser salary. The combination of these variables determines the amount of future earning potential that will be lost. Any aspect of a vehicle accident injury and how it impacts the client's earning potential will be explained in detail by a competent auto accident attorney.

Medical Fees 


Accidents involving a motor vehicle in Tampa regularly result in excessive short- and long-term medical bills, particularly for individuals who do not have appropriate health insurance coverage. When it comes to the neck or spine injuries, this is especially important because they can result in long-term complications. It is important to meet these expenses in order to avoid financial difficulties and debt accumulation. Do you believe that your injuries were caused by another motorist’s carelessness? Consult with one of our car accident attorneys to see if you are entitled to compensation after an accident.

Other Expenses

In vehicle accident lawsuits, lost income and medical expenditures for bodily injuries are relatively easy to calculate. Other elements, however, are taken into account when estimating damages in car accidents. From a purely financial standpoint, these aspects may not be as clear. They may include the following: 

  • Stress, trauma, sorrow, anxiety, despair, and PTSD are all examples of mental suffering.
  • Physical discomfort and suffering as a result of the injury and rehabilitation procedure.
  • Because of the victim's injuries, his or her spouse or partner is unable to enjoy tenderness, companionship, or sexual intercourse with the sufferer.
  • Punitive damages (if the culpable party disobeyed the law flagrantly and plainly), which the court generally awards for two reasons: to compensate the damaged party and to deter the guilty motorist from repeating the same illegal behavior.
  • While the majority of claims will center on bills, expenses and lost earnings, compensation extends beyond merely financial concerns. It will be considered in the claim if someone has a lower quality of life, including physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Following the car accident, a skilled accident attorney will give a full picture of the victim's suffering.

The first full week in August is designated as "Stop on Red" Week. Many drivers believe that stopping at red lights and stop signs is self-evident and that they don't need to be reminded, but we've observed that this is not the case. Why Do People Disobey Stop Signs and Red Lights? There are a variety of reasons why drivers disregard red lights and stop signs, but in the many years of experienced of the personal injury attorneys , they noticed that the following are among the most common:  The motorist was going too fast. When drivers accelerate, particularly when attempting to beat a yellow light, they may not have enough time to come to a complete stop before crossing the junction or colliding with another vehicle already stopped at the signal.  The motorist purposefully disregarded the traffic light. It has been seen that irresponsible drivers justifying causing collisions that wounded the clients by claiming they were "in a rush" far too many times. Howe

In a nutshell, a comparative negligence system permits a victim to recover compensation for injuries and financial losses even if he or she is partially to blame for the incident , subject to certain restrictions.

Tampa is one of the states that have that 51% threshold. Under the Tampa comparative negligence law, a victim can claim compensation for injuries if they were less than 50% at fault.
