As you likely know, a car crash can impact a person’s life in many ways. Rather obviously, physical injuries hurt, but they can also result in significant medical bills and a lower quality of life, at least for a period of time. That being said, if you have been injured in an accident that has negatively affected your quality of life, there is a strong chance you will be allowed to sue for a loss of enjoyment of life. Please continue reading and reach out to a seasoned NYC personal injury lawyer from the Law Office of Richard M. Kenny to learn more about this type of specific damage and how our firm can help you through the personal injury claims process ahead. Here are some of the questions you may have:
What is a loss of enjoyment of life in the context of a personal injury claim?
Loss of enjoyment of life is not like other financial damages in that it has no fixed price tag, and varies for each person and each case. Though it can be challenging to show and measure in a personal injury claim, it doesn’t mean you can’t sue for it. For example, if you are an accomplished baseball player and you sustained a permanent injury due to another driver’s negligence that prevents you from returning to the diamond, you may qualify for damages for a loss of enjoyment of life. Factors that may influence your likelihood of recovering these damages can include, but are not limited to:
- How bad and lasting your injuries are
- How much your injuries limit your body and mind
- How your injuries affect your relationships and work
- What proof you can produce to back up your claim
How do I win a personal injury claim?
To win a personal injury claim and recover the full and fair compensation to which you are entitled, you need a good lawyer on your side. A lawyer from our firm can:
- Find and use medical records, expert opinions, witness statements, and other evidence to show how bad your injuries are
- Speak with the insurance company or the person who caused the crash
- Go to court if needed and make a strong case to the jury
- Advise you on steps to take to maximize your chances of receiving a favorable settlement
