You may recover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future care costs depending on the specifics of your case. Damages can also include out of pocket expenses and property damage. An attorney helps evaluate all potential avenues for compensation and explains the process clearly. A thorough review of your medical records and employment information can support a stronger claim.
