Again, circumstances vary from case to case. As a general proposition, however, an individual who has suffered an injury sufficient to justify medical treatment is entitled to additional compensation. The law requires that an injured person be made whole to the greatest extent possible. This contemplates: compensation for pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of ability to enjoy life, impairment and lost wages and diminished earning capacity. Not all damages apply across the board to every case. This is why, again, consultation with an attorney at an early stage can help you maximize a fair recovery within the parameters of the law.
