What Damages am I Entitled to After a Car Accident?
In a car accident case in Indiana, damages can include medical bills, lost wages, physical pain, mental suffering, permanent injury, and physical dismemberment, which would include scarring basically. So it doesn’t have to necessarily be a loss of a limb, it could just be a scar that’s permanent. And so the way they’re calculated honestly depends on what a jury is going to likely give you if your case went to trial. Medical bills and wage loss are pretty cut and dry. Those are just the numbers, but the more flexible numbers are the physical pain, mental suffering, and permanent injury, really dependent on what a jury is likely to give. And so we try to predict that based on our experience as attorneys and the cases that we’ve handled and other jury verdicts.
