What Type of Compensation Can I Expect From My South Carolina Personal Injury Lawsuit?

The most important thing that you can do immediately following yourย  injury is to focus on getting better. This is especially true for the most serious types of injuries, whether itโ€™s brain damage caused by traumatic brain injury (TBI), spinal cord injuries, burn injuries, severely broken bones, or other serious injuries. Once your injuries are treated, you can contact a lawyer to start your South Carolina personal injury lawsuit.

Our law firm isย often asked what kind of compensation can be expected in a personal injury case. While every personal injury case is different, in South Carolina, you can expect compensation for the following:

  • medical bills, including future medical care for permanent injuries
  • lost wages
  • pain and suffering/loss of enjoyment of life

A South Carolina personal injury attorney will discuss your personal injury claim with you to determine what type of compensation you can expect to receive.

Obtaining Fair Compensation for Personal Injuries in South Carolina

The law in South Carolina recognizes that the quality of life of the spouse of an injured person also suffers when an accident occurs, and it allows personal injury recovery for this injury even though the spouse did not suffer physical injury himself or herself. A loss of consortium case is separate from the injured victimโ€™s case.

Aย  plaintiff may be entitled to a legal award of the costs for future medical care for permanent injuries. Typically, this must be proven with expert testimony. A personal injury lawyer can help you sort through the details of the case and determine if expert testimonies will be necessary for your claim. Personal injury attorneys can also help you obtain the necessary testimonies.

Most states, including South Carolina, allow additional personal injury recovery when an injury interferes with a plaintiffโ€™s ability to lead a normal life. With an elderly personal injury client, this could mean the ability to play with oneโ€™s grandchildren, walk and exercise as one did prior to an injury, communicate meaningfully with others, or engage in the pastimes one previously enjoyed.

A patient who was injured as a result of medical malpractice may be entitled to recover his or her lost wages, past, and future, incurred as a result of the malpractice. When working with an attorney, be completely open about the accident and your injuries. This way the attorney will know how the injury impacted your quality of life and fight for fair compensation.

Mental Suffering Damages in a Personal Injury Accident

Mental suffering in a personal injury for which one may recover compensation and damages can include the following:

  • Fear of the consequences of a personal injury while awaiting help;
  • Fear experienced in the period between realizing an incident likely to cause personal injury was going to occur and the time of occurrence;
  • Fear experienced after a personal injury about what else could have happened;
  • Anxiety about oneโ€™s physical health and future well-being;
  • Fear of the need for future surgery as a result of oneโ€™s personal injuries;
  • Fear of increased vulnerability to future personal injury;
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder.

In a personal injury case, an injured person may be entitled to recover the costs of treatment for injuries as a result of the negligence or intentional conduct of a third party. If you sustained mental damage from the accident, talk with your South Carolina attorney about the best way to move forward with your claim.

Pain and Suffering in a Personal Injury Accident

Pain and suffering is the term used for damages designed to compensate someone for his or her personal injuries that are physical and emotional in nature. Experienced personal injury lawyers may be able to add to the settlement compensation a victim can receive for out-of-pocket damages like lost wages and medical bills.

The South Carolina Courts generally do not recognize shortened life expectancy as a separate personal injury. However, in determining the seriousness of someoneโ€™s injury, the South Carolina Courts may consider decreased earning capacity, pain, and suffering, and mental suffering from knowing oneโ€™s life will be shorter.

South Carolina jurors are typically told to determine a plaintiffโ€™s future damages based on standard life expectancy tables. However, due to improvements in medical science and living conditions over the years, your SC attorney might argue that your life expectancy was/is actually greater than the standard tables would indicate, thereby entitling you to greater damages and better results.

If you have followed good health practices, such as not smoking, exercising, maintaining a good weight, and eating properly, this information might help your attorney in arguing that you are entitled to greater damages due to your longer life expectancy. The more information you can provide to your lawyer, the better they will be able to argue for your claim.

Ask Our South Carolina Personal Injury Lawyers about Punitive Damages

Depending upon the nature of the case, punitive damages may be awarded. For example, in a SC claim where it is shown that a nursing home engaged in malicious or reckless conduct, punitive damages may be awarded.

Because injured nursing home residents are generally older, in poor health, and have a relatively short life expectancy, damage elements that are common in other personal injury cases, such as lost earning capacity, future pain and suffering, and future medical expenses, will not be as significant.

Awards against nursing homes are mostly made up of punitive damages, and damages for mental anguish, pain and suffering experienced by the injured person, medical expenses, and the loss of affection and companionship by the surviving spouse or children. If your claim involves punitive damages, a personal injury attorney will highlight the injuries during your lawsuit.

A Lifesaver in the Courtroom, Ensuring Freedom with A1 Professionalism
Needed a lifesaver. I had gotten myself into a bad situation and the possibility of going to prison. Through the diligence and hard work done by attorney Alley B., I was able to walk out of that courtroom a free man. No tricks just hard down attorney work. She was an A1 professional and knew every inch of the Law pertaining to my case. For that, I am forever grateful.
