What Types of Compensation Can I Recover?
You may be able to recover several losses through compensation in a personal injury case. Whether you are filing a claim against the at-fault party’s insurance company or are preparing for trial, there are several types of losses you may be able to recover to help minimize the accident’s impact on your life. Compensation is generally grouped into three categories:
- Economic damages: Covers all applicable losses that have a monetary value. Covered losses may include medical expenses, lost wages or earning potential, property damage, and death benefits.
- Non-economic damages: Covers all applicable losses that were sustained because of the traumatic experience you suffered. Covered losses may include pain and suffering, emotional distress, reduced quality of life, and loss of consortium.
- Punitive damages: This type of compensation is reserved for cases involving egregious negligence or recklessness. These damages punish the offender and deter further behavior. Eligible victims receive punitive damages in addition to their other losses.
A variety of factors influence settlement values in a case, such as the scope of losses, partial fault, insurance companies, and more. As such, consult our team right away to learn how to protect your claim and pursue maximum compensation.
How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in Indiana?
You generally have two years from the time an accident occurred to file a personal injury claim in Indiana, per IC 34-11-2-4. Once the statute of limitations expires, no further action may be allowed, and you could be left to pay for your losses yourself. Exceptions to time limits and options may apply, so talk to your lawyer as soon as possible.
