When to Hire an Economist in a Personal Injury Case

The cost of a personal injury case can vary from a few thousand dollars to tens of thousands of dollars. Generally, the more serious the injuries, the higher the economic damages, such as medical bills, lost wages, ongoing care, and property damage. The main purpose of filing a personal injury claim is to pursue a financial settlement that covers all economic and non-economic losses (damages). Economic damages are quantifiable financial losses incurred by a plaintiff (injured party) as a direct result of an injury or harm caused by a defendant, while non-economic damages are non-tangible losses such as pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life.

How to Prove Negligence in Personal Injury Cases

A personal injury claim is filed when a person has suffered harm from an accident caused by the reckless, intentional, or negligent behavior of another person or entity. Put another way, when injuries are caused by another’s negligent behavior, a personal injury claim may be filed to pursue a financial settlement.

If you or a loved one was injured as a result of the behavior of another, contact an experienced, local personal injury attorney to discuss your legal rights. A local injury lawyer will be familiar with the laws in your state (or the state where the incident occurred if it is different) and can assess your situation to let you know whether you have a legitimate personal injury claim. Most importantly, they know how to prove negligence in personal injury cases.
