Filing a Lakeland Injury Claim: The Compensation You Can Expect

Many clients ask, “How much compensation will I get as part of my Lakeland injury claim?” At Dolman Law Group, we cannot guarantee the compensation you will ultimately recover for your injuries. It can vary based on:

• Who caused your accident? To file an injury claim, you must clearly establish whose negligence led to your accident. Some entities, including property owners and drivers, have different coverage amounts, influencing the compensation you can recover.
• What compensation does the insurance policy offer? Sometimes, you may need to identify exceptions to the policy to lay out the compensation you deserve. At Dolman Law Group, we carefully review any insurance policy associated with the accident to give our clients a better idea of the compensation they can pursue for their injuries.
• What losses did you sustain in the accident? Ultimately, the compensation you will recover will depend heavily on the financial and non-financial losses you sustained because of your accident.

While we cannot guarantee the compensation you will recover for your injuries. However, the Dolman Law Group can help you calculate your losses from the accident and present a comprehensive injury claim that claims everything you deserve. Take a look at these categories.

Your Medical Expenses

In some cases, your Lakeland accident may result in substantial medical costs. Whether you went to Lakeland Regional Medical Center or outside the Lakeland area to pursue treatment for your injuries, you most likely have substantial medical costs to cover. Carefully track all of your medical costs so that you can include them as part of a comprehensive injury claim. You may need to include long-term hospitalization costs, durable medical equipment, or therapy following your accident as part of your claim. As you calculate the medical costs you faced due to your accident, make sure you consider your future anticipated medical bills. At Dolman Law Group, we help our clients take a close look at their likely future medical needs so that they can include them as part of their claims. For example, if you will have ongoing medical costs because of your injuries, which are likely with back and neck injuries or severe organ trauma, you want to include those costs as part of your claim. Likewise, if you know that you will need an additional medical procedure in the future, you should include it as part of your claimed medical costs.

Your Income Losses

Many people find that serious accidents result in a substantial impact on their income. Injuries may make it very difficult for you to go to work. If you end up hospitalized, you may need to avoid work until you get out and recover. Even once you start to recover from your injuries, you may need to stay out of work until you can fully resume your work duties. Talk to your attorney at Dolman Law Group about the amount of time you missed from work following your accident. The more work you had to miss because of your injuries, the more compensation you can claim for those losses. In addition, you may want to talk to your lawyer about the challenges you face if your injuries prevent you from returning to your job or industry. You may have the right to claim compensation for your lost future earning potential.

Your Suffering

Many accident injury claims will include compensation for the direct financial losses that went along with your accident and the suffering you faced. You may have endured a great deal of suffering, from physical pain to emotional challenges. As part of your Lakeland injury claim, your attorney at Dolman Law Group can help you calculate compensation for your suffering and reduced quality of life.

What to Do After a Lakeland Accident

When you suffer injuries in an accident, things may be chaotic for a long time. You have appointments to juggle and personal challenges as you try to figure out how to manage the limitations that may accompany your injuries. However, the steps you take after your accident can greatly impact your ability to recover reasonable compensation for your injuries. To help protect your right to compensation, make sure you:

• Look at any accident report related to your accident. The accident report may lay out how your accident occurred and may serve as vital evidence of when your accident took place and where it occurred.
• Get in touch with Dolman Law Group as soon as you can. Even though Florida law allows up to four years to file an injury claim, you should find a lawyer to start working on your behalf soon after the accident to increase the chance of success.
• Start a folder documenting all of your medical costs. Ensure you include receipts for any co-pay or deductible amounts you have already paid since those may significantly raise your overall costs.
• Document your recovery. Keep track of your suffering in a journal so you can more easily lay it out as part of your injury claim.
