Victims may already know that they should demand money to pay for their current medical bills. Yet, they may forget about the potential costs that loom down the road. You may require additional surgeries in the months ahead. You could need expensive medical equipment or lifelong assistance with supporting your family after a permanent disability leaves you unable to work.

A car insurance company or a commercial liability insurer may offer to pay for a night in the emergency room, but our Lake Worth personal injury lawyers know that’s rarely enough.

We fight to make sure every hardship you’ve suffered factors into the amount on a personal injury settlement check.

These and other damages must be considered when deciding whether to accept a settlement offer or choosing to demand more:

• Hospital and physical therapy support until you are fully recovered.
• Lifetime support for a permanent physical disability if you are left with a limp, brain damage, a missing limb, paralysis, or some other debilitating, long-term injury.
• Support for the physical pain you endure.
• Support for the emotional anguish you are put through. This can include the anxiety or depression you develop during a long, difficult recovery. The loss of enjoyment of life you experience.
• Damage or destruction of property. Money for vehicle repairs or replacement.
• Earnings and benefits you’ve lost while missing work.
